Thanks for reporting this, @Febonatty! Could you try the latest release, 2026.9.13, and see whether it still closes?

If it does, please share your Windows version and the main.log from %APPDATA%\ai.pawwork.desktop\logs after reproducing it. Also, does an error dialog appear, or does the app just disappear? I haven’t pinned down the cause yet, so those details would help.

If there’s no dialog and the log stops abruptly, please also check Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application for a PawWork error. The faulting module and exception code would be useful.

Please remove any API keys, tokens or private information from the log before posting it.
