Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-03-06 22:49:07 UTC 
Is the system already mostly or entirely out of memory when this happens? Or is System Settings consuming all memory upon launch and then terminating?
Comment 2 antoinelormeau 2023-03-07 09:21:16 UTC 
Issue was reproducible everytime even when nothing was running, and I have 16Go.

However, I cannot reproduce the issue now. I don't know what fixed it though.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-03-07 18:08:03 UTC 
Hmm, OK. let us know if it happens again!
