Here some infos about my system, if that helps to detect the reason for the failed start process of KWin: https://gist.github.com/ShalokShalom/b5427e7ea92add24c5e6ddeef9d83283 There is neither a watchdog for KWin nor for Plasma. They get restarted on crash by the KCrash framework. What exactly do you mean by "KWin does not start"? Did it crash? Both - crash on running session and no start from the very beginning. This is confirmed by other users, including from other distros, as well. It happens rarely, what can i do the next time, when it happens? Created attachment 103531 [details]

Get the backtrace of the crash so that we can fix the crash.
And when its not loaded in the first instance? On boot? Is it also then possible to get a backtrace? KCrash should always show a DrKonqi. Even on boot. Ok, i guess its not a crash then I was about to ask the same question... For some unknown reason, windows decorations have not been present after rebooting for a few days, which made me need to start kwin manually. I don't know if it's a crash or something else. I figured out this issue would stop occurring when disabling the session restoration at startup. If that's a crash, it should have been restarted automatically. But if it wasn't a crash, why would my decoration reappear when starting kwin ? I'll double check the bugs tracker to help identify this :) [Using KDE Neon LTS] Anyway, I'll file a distinct bug as it seems unrelated. BTW, is there any additional package that needs to be installed under Neon ? I do not recall ever seing DrKonqi pop up and I did not find any package explicitely related to KDE & crashes under my package manager. (except apport-kde). Cheers & Thanks so much Martin for your hard work ! Neon & Plasma LTS is a dream coming true :) I suspect this is the restoration of a specific app that causes this issue. As obviously enabling the automatic session restoration doesn't automatically causes the decorations to disappear at each startup. Trying to pinpoint this... Unfortunately we kind of lack information on what's going on here. KWin seems not to crash, but doesn't start. That's kind of impossible. Best idea I have is an issue created by the distribution. For me there is nothing which can be done to further investigate. In case you have further information please reopen.

Trying to > pinpoint this... This is pretty much possible, since i changed this to always start a new session (which is anyway the more senseful option) and i never got the issue again.
