We have ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1 and it crashes whenever we open ArcMap or ArcCatalog. Sometimes we are able to use it for sometime and sometimes it crashes instantly. The crash is not dependent on any tool or any specific activity. Even if ArcMap or ArcCatalog is idle, after sometime it crashes and this window appears.

No, we did not contact tech support, as we were hoping to get a solution on this platform.

Good idea to do so now.  random crashes are usually related to issues that are not general to the software but specific to the user's environment.  Tech Support has the tools to examine your situation remotely and offer suggestions that can lead to a solution

Thanks for the Advice Dan, we shall do that next once after we uninstall and reinstall again, on the other hand we are thinking that if it has something to do with ArcGIS Desktop Extensions or ArcFM environment?

could be... when I do an install, I uninstall everything esri (including folders in the c:\users... path) and install Pro first.

Good luck

I agree with Dan - you need to uninstall / reinstall everything, not just one part. Good luck!

@HarshJain  did you found a solution? I have the same problem since last year for arcgis 10.6.1 and ArcFM 10.6.1a. Since last year I have a support case opened but no solution yet.
