VS2019 keeps crashing due to Nuget Telerik unmanaged NULL exception

[Matt]

Hi,
for more than one year my VS2019 sometimes, but repeatedly, crashed. Today I had enough and peeked into it. Surprisingly, at least my recent crashes are caused by Telerik Nuget package:

VS version: 16.11.33920.266

Telerik packages: Progress Telerik UI for WPF 2023.2.714.61, Telerik Reporting Tools 3.44.11.0

 

Keeps crashing at idle time mostly. It had never crashed during my work, only during idle times of VS.

Hi Matt,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

This is a known problem that will be fixed in our next release. It occurs when Visual Studio is open for more than 24 hours. Until we fix the problem, you can disable/uninstall the Telerik extensions or close your Visual Studio in 24 hours.

You can remove/uninstall the extensions by the Visual Studio Extensions -> Manage Extensions menu.

I hope this helps until the extensions are fixed. Have in mind that (by default) you will receive an automatic update in Visual Studio.

Regards,
