Description

While browsing source code files of a C program I'm working on with file preview enabled, big files or browsing multiple small files next to each other will cause Files to crash with an out of memory error (although my system still has ram, it seems more like a windows security feature).
I am on the microsoft store version.

{9D27E316-BB5B-401F-8E08-8917D0604FF1}

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Start Files
  2. Enable file preview
  3. Highlight files until it crashes

Requirements

Ensure that Files doesn't crash when checking out files.

Files Version

3.7.7.0

Windows Version

10.0.22631.4169

User ID

No response

Log File

debug.log
The log doesn't appears to say anything interesting.

It actually does not appear to be a "crash".
It's a pretty interesting case where it seems a windows security feature kicks in where it is most likely warning of a memory leak by saying people could abuse of the memory buffer overrun to run malicious code.
Files still is working perfectly fine in the background, but the moment I close the prompt warning of the memory issue, windows closes Files.
