Download the full log zip file - there will be clues in there. If you need help analyzing the logs, then put the full zip into cloud storage and send me a private message (PM) with a link to the zip. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
