Trouble with STM32CubeIDE crashing during debugging on Windows 10

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an STM32 project using STM32CubeIDE on Windows 10 (i7-9700K, 16GB RAM), and I’m running into a frustrating issue. Every time I start a debug session on my Nucleo-F446RE board, the IDE sometimes freezes or crashes after hitting a breakpoint. I’ve tried updating CubeIDE to the latest version and reinstalling the ST-Link drivers, but it’s still happening intermittently.

One thing I did notice is that my system isn’t always completely clean in the background. I sometimes run lightweight games during breaks, like Stick War Legacy, and recently I tried a mod APK version from stickwarmods. I’m not sure if something from that could be affecting system stability or leaving background processes running, but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case it’s related.

Has anyone faced similar issues, or is there a recommended way to debug without the IDE crashing? Any tips would be really appreciated!

Hello @unknown

Let's try to uninstall IDE and reinstall it again then  if the issue persists, please share your log 

I will be waiting for your feedback.
