Hi, In Quality Sorter source code, there is no network access, only computation. Check code yourself here: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/libs/dimg/filters/imgqsort What's you Quality Sorter settings used with the maintenance tool ? Best Gilles Caulier
How many images does your collection have? Have you waited long enough? The process of creating the scan list from the DB is not yet carried out in a separate thread with this function and can take some time. The access to the registry keys can actually only come from the QWebKit browser engine, which is already running in the sidebars of digiKam or in the welcome page. Maik
Another possibility about the network activity is the DrMinGW included in digiKam which caught the crash exception to generate a suitable backtrace to report. Else, in your Windows you have perhaps installed a security tool which detect the crash and try to check application memory fingerprint with a remote database... typically an antivirus application for ex.

I was able to reproduce it here on Windows. But it is not a crash, you can see in your DebugView log that no task has been started. In the settings for the quality sorter, the top check box must be activated in order to activate the sorter. Maik
