UniGetUI Version

3.1.7 [Logs since 1.3.6]

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 11 Pro 24H2 26100.3323

Describe your issue

The UniGetUI Elevator.exe process constantly hangs in the background (even if there is no activity in progress), generating crash logs in the Windows Event Viewer. There seems to be no problems with the GUI and it works normally (apparently) or at least it does not seem to generate traces in the logs due to the process failure.

Steps to reproduce the issue

It only occurs with the background application, although it is increased before starting and at the end of an update order, generating between 4 and +30 successive records in the event viewer.

Relevant information

*Ask Once Admin Rights and Once per batch enabled
According to the reliability monitor, the failure started to occur from 2025-02-23 with version 3.1.6 of uniget

At the moment I don't know if it could be related to another failure due to excess traffic or opening and closing TCP-IP ports (apparently colliding with the Windows Time service (w32Time) and DNS Service) when more than one server is used (respectively Cloudflare NTP and DNS and Google NTP+DNS) since they seem to occur in a chain [Opening another bug in progress]
