Image Mode continues to crash near the end of the scan

[WhiteOakAcorn]

I have the default search criteria in place to make it simple. The scan location is a local Photo folder that has a number of other subfolders. The scan starts up fine and then pauses for a moment. Then crashes. The log files do not show any information. I have run the application as an administrator as well. I check the Event logs and show two errors. I have included them below:

Event ID 1000

The other scans seem to work just fine. The image scan is the only one that continues to crash. Is anyone else seeing the same problem?

I have noticed a second error in the Event logs at the same time. A .NET runtime error.

Can you try limiting the scan to one image type to narrow the crash down? (e.g. *.jpg)
It has been reported to be crashing on HEIC images on some systems.
