Screenshots and videos

Forgot to take a screenshot, but the above is a copy of the popup window which appeared after pressing quit.

Is this some kind of third-party post-mortem debugger, or this is a windows popup?

I've the same problem. It's a Windows pop-up.
Windows log (Dutch):
Toepassingspop-up: UniGetUI Elevator.exe - Systeemfout : Er is een bufferoverschrijdingsfout opgetreden voor stack-buffer in deze toepassing. Via deze overschrijdingsfout kan een kwaadwillige gebruiker de controle over deze toepassing verkrijgen.

I'm not sure but I think so. It was this week after an automatic update.

Martí Climent (@marticliment) Just a popup which appeared after manually quitting. Nothing special.

It may be related to the UnigetUI Elevator as others have reported, but the window popup which appeared for me was titled DDE Server Window: UniGetUI.exe - System Error (no mention of Elevator like the screenshot above). I haven't encountered that exact popup myself yet and the option to use the Elevator is enabled.

Update 3.1.5 solved this issue for me. Thanks

Happened again on "Quit UniGetUI" in 3.1.6-beta1:

---------------------------
DDE Server Window: UniGetUI.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application. 
---------------------------
OK

It appears that this issue is not actually a bug, but an odd windows behaviour: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20190108-00/?p=100655

Nevertheless I will still investigate its cause and attempt to fix it
