Thank you so much! I’ve just take a pc gaming and I was mad about wow crushing. Windows 7 was the solution ❤

Thanks for the detailed suggestions. I'm still going through the options, but I appreciate the long detailed list. I just don't get why WoW suddenly started crashing so much. It's never done this since the game was launched...

Changing the compatibility modes seems to have helped so far. I was getting constant access violation crashes but only on characters that had visited the war within content.
