That is indeed strange, some security software might block Dirmngr actions and 
cause an error state we have not yet handled, but then Kleopatra should not 
crash.

If you figure out how to reproduce this please report a bug under dev.gnupg.org

For the crash (again a ticket in dev.gnupg.org) would be best.

The interesting logs would be the dirmngr log:
(Create or edit %APPDATA%\gnupg\dirmngr.conf) and put in there:

	debug-level guru
	log-file c:\some_writable_path\to_a_logfile.txt

For Kleopatra:

	Start debug view ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/
debugview ) and filter for lines starting with: org.kde.pim

Thanks for your help analysing this.

Best Regards,
Andre
