I am running Thunderbird on a Windows 11 computer. Every time I access the program it locks up and crashes. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Dave

If it's locking up, do you see a 'Not responding' notification at the title bar? What is your anti-virus software?

If it's crashing, please post a crash ID. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter-tb#w_viewing-crash-reports

Just using the Windows Defender. No other virus software. Thanks for the reply. Dave

Try to create an exclusion in Defender for the Thunderbird profile folder, so that the Defender's real-time scanner will not scan it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_how-to-find-your-profile

I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THUNDERBIRD LOCKING UP. I HAVE TRIED ALL THAT IS SUGGESTED BUT STILL NO RESULTS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS DAVE

Please post here rather than creating a new question.

Repeating a previous question, is it crashing per https://support.mozilla.org/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter-tb?

If it is, please post a crash ID. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter-tb#w_viewing-crash-reports

Note, version 150 is two releases behind.
