Description
- Windows 10 Pro
- Python Version: 3.7.11
- Brain Interface Used: Crown
When running n170.present (form visual_n170), PsychoPy freezes and python crashes.
The problem was fixed by removing show_instructions(duration). We think that the error comes from the fact that mywin = visual.Window([1600, 900], monitor="testMonitor", units="deg", fullscr=True) is repeated twice and therefore PsychoPy creates two screens which makes it crash.

Research direction
Start by reproducing n170.present with the reported Windows 10 Pro and Python 3.7.11 setup, focusing on visual_n170 and the show_instructions(duration) call. Inspect where mywin is created and whether the Window configuration is repeated. Done means the experiment no longer freezes or crashes without relying on the reported workaround.
