Unfortunately there are no useful clues in the trace file. You might try 
opening a powershell window and starting GnuCash from the prompt (“C:\Program 
Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash”) to see if guile is writing anything that 
isn’t getting captured by the logging facility.

Do not-customized reports (e.g. Reports>Assets>Balance Sheet) crash or just the 
customized ones? Does “customized” mean that you’ve changed some report options 
and saved the configuration or reports with custom Scheme code?

Regards,
John Ralls
