App Crashes is a narrowly defined failure intent within Troubleshooting & Failure Modes, not a general page about the platform. The diagnostic focus is application-level exits, freezes followed by termination, corrupted state, extensions, permissions, memory pressure, updates, logs, and reproducibility without assuming the whole operating system is unstable. Useful coverage moves from reproducible symptoms and low-risk checks to targeted configuration, logs, recovery, or hardware tests, then confirms the original condition no longer reproduces.
