A SAS® Studio session might end abruptly with "The application has encountered a serious error"


An issue occurs where a SAS Studio session ends abruptly and displays a blue window with the following message:

The application has encountered a serious error and must be reloaded.

This issue might occur if you select the new Display errors and warnings in code setting under Editors. This setting is new to SAS® Studio 2025.11.

Workaround

To circumvent this issue, clear (that is, disable) the Display errors and warnings in code setting.
