Just as in the title.
Recently, I've noticed that qtminer is not starting up reliably. It will keep crashing with the "QtMiner.exe stopped working" error over and over. The log just before each crash looks like this (the last line isn't a copy-paste error - it's exactly how it appears in the console):

C:\Program Files\Mist\qtminer>qtminer.exe -s pool.alpereum.ch:3002 -u 0xdD7EB7EB937CA864520A9490248eb0a215B3C339.rx480 -G

It will crash several times (sometimes 2-3 times, sometimes even like 20), but eventually it'll snap and it will just start mining properly.
Here's an extract from the event viewer: qtminer.zip
Worth noting: this happens on both of my computers. The main one runs Windows 10 1703 x64 with an RX 480. The secondary one runs Windows Server 2012 x64, with an R9 280X.
