Yes, I can see you had several attempts to launch that June release of GM and all of them suddenly stopped very early during startup on this phase [21:26:59:230(eae0)] Initialise(2)

However, reading up through the rest of your log, this appears to be quite a common issue where you have a few fails to start and then GM works again for a while, plus I can see a number of permissions issues when trying to stop/start builds of your projects, so while we will look into the crash and see if this is something already fixed in August or not, I would suggest you update to the 2024.8 release just now and also review our permissions FAQ, as this may well stop the problems on your machine right away.

Permissions FAQ

Note that we always link to this guide on the release notes page, as many users need to review their protection settings every time they install a new version of GameMaker, so this may be something you need to do also in future.

I can see that your IDE and runtime versions do not match. Please first of all update your GameMaker install fully and then review the permissions guide (which you can always find on the Help menu inside GameMaker and on the release notes page). This should solve your issue right away.

Please do always check that you have updated both parts and reviewed that guide every time you change your GameMaker version - at least, if you get any problems building your projects after updating GameMaker this should be the first thing you do.

(If updating and reviewing the guide does not fix this, please file a new bug report and ensure you allow GameMaker to include your currently-open project that's still showing the problem at that time, and we will of course see if something extra is going on.)

Unfortunately the crash dump itself does not have anything useful in it, so we can only suggest upgrading to see if whatever was blocking it has been fixed...
