Crash (0xc0000005 in VCRUNTIME140.dll) on Windows client immediately after ADB connection (Samsung S23 / Android 14)

[musicmark]

Description

The Windows client immediately crashes (silently exits) right after successfully establishing the ADB connection and forwarding ports. The smartphone shows "connection interrupted" because the PC client process is killed by the OS.

Windows Event Viewer indicates an Access Violation (0xc0000005) inside VCRUNTIME140.dll.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 (x64)
• Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S23
• Android Version: Android 14
• ADB Version: 36.0.0-13206524
• GPU: RTX 4060 Laptop

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect the smartphone via USB (ADB enabled).
2. Launch VCamdroid Windows client.
3. Client logs show successful ADB port forwarding (6969, 8554) and device connection (127.0.0.1:xxxxx).
4. The moment the video stream payload is expected to start, the Windows client crashes and closes instantly.
