Hello,

This is not a bug. Since v5.111, AdwCleaner has a new option called "Reset Chrome preferences" which effectively reset all chrome preferences. You can deactivate this option by unchecking it under "Options" menu.

Re: Adwcleaner BSOD on closing processes

I uninstalled and enabled debug again, generating log file and I'll post it. I'll have to get back with you gentlemen on monday to read any replies though, I have a flight in a few hours and it takes a while to get checked in.
