Subject: ChatGPT Windows browser-process crash immediately after in-app browser tab teardown

ChatGPT Desktop repeatedly crashes while the active task “Build Eleva Rise Sales foundation” uses the in-app browser.

Five confirmed Electron browser-process crashes occurred at:

22:43 IST
07:49 IST
11:07 IST
12:31 IST
16:02 IST

Every crash occurred 0.6–1.1 seconds after an in-app browser tab teardown.

Latest sequence:
tabID=undefined

Crashpad crash ID:
719f2c90-a88e-4139-9588-b8eb3e58f214

Affected app versions:
26.901.5280.0
26.901.6511.0

The problem reproduces across both versions.

No corresponding GPU reset, resource-exhaustion event, Windows application hang, or updater termination was found.

The likely trigger is an invalid-state or race condition between:

• in-app browser tab teardown;
• picture-in-picture handling;
• browser-session cleanup.

Crashpad retained metadata but no minidump.

Please correlate the Crashpad ID and timestamps with native browser-process telemetry and advise whether additional desktop logs or a diagnostic build are required.

No ERP/site failure occurs at the same time.

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by correlating Crashpad ID 719f2c90-a88e-4139-9588-b8eb3e58f214 and the reported timestamps with native browser-process telemetry; done means determining whether the tab teardown, picture-in-picture handling, and browser-session cleanup are related and whether additional logs or a diagnostic build are required.
