%LOCALAPPDATA%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\State Data
This locks up the entire computer and explorer crashes. I could try cmd, but I'd need reminders on how to navigate/delete it as I ususally use linux shells
The solution can't be to stop windows defender / antivirus each time, can it? Defender only starts using a bunch of resources after the opus installation finishes and tries to launch.
Its a work in progress gruvbox theme. I'm doing it bit by bit and it's truly a monster to create a theme. Whenever I finish it I'll share it
Something is very wrong with your computer outside of Opus, if that is happening when you paste that path into File Explorer.

I can get anywhere else, and I can delete the openlisters.oll from opus, but it just seems to be the GPS\Directory Opus folder that locks explorer.exe 
No, that's why I didn't suggest that. I said try disabling it temporarily to see if it's involved.
Thanks.
I'l;l key an eye out for it.
Sorry, I misunderstood!
Turning off defender and deleting openlisters.oll as @Leo suggested helped, as in it reduced the number of listers launched, but there are still about 10 errors:
(sorry for the slow replies, I can only test solutions when updates come out)
You're system is compromised by something otherwise more people would report the same behavior as you experience. If you're on Windows 10 or 11, the best you can do is to re-install windows retaining all the existing apps. Uninstalling Dopus first (export the theme and other settings first) before re-installing is recommended.
Something else you can try is to boot into safe mode by disabling every driver that doesn't pertain to Microsoft. You can do this by executing msconfig. Google for that.
Is the installer still in Task Manager’s Details tab when those messages appear?
They indicate it hasn’t exited yet, but it should have by that point.
If the installer is still in Task Manager when the messages appear, could you right-click it and use the option to create a few process memory dumps for us to analyse?
More detail on how to do it is here (but snapshot the installer rather than dopus.exe):
I don't think that's accurate, the error I was running into earlier was related to Everything indexing (as I use fluent search as well). I fixed that and it's fine. I suspect it's some setting I have leftover from Opus 11 or 12. I ran pretty comprehensive checks with defender and then again with DSIM, SFC scannow, and a few other tools.
That's a great idea. Yeah, I'll generate a memdump when the next update releases.

You like the yellow lister background?
Any errors showing under "Applications" in Event Viewer?
Yes, it stays open for a bit as the messages appear. Because I turned off Defender this time there were only 4 popups and the installer exited before I could create a memory dump. Next time I'll start creating the dump and then try to hit enter / finish on the upgrader. It's definitely the installer remaining in tasks after the upgrade is done though, the timing was perfect and the popups stopped once the installer disappeared from the task manager
I've made some changes for 13.3.1 (note: not 13.3) which may help here. It may mean you don't see the message at all, but failing that you should at least only see one message instead of multiple.
thanks! I've managed to avoid it the past update because I saved the installer; multiple window don't seem to open that way. I'll try it like normal next time and see if the messages fixed it
Well it's nice not having the popups, but if anything the lister problem is aggravated:
everything locks up too fast for me to take a memory dump. I'm gonna try to take one as I install
ah! it didn't ocurr in the latest update!! i wonder if something changed in 13.058 or 13.0.56. fingers crossed it sticks
