Hi John:
I am sorry to hear about your crash. It is important to note that QGIS
provides a means of querying, updating, analysing and displaying data
that is stored outside of the software (in a variety of formats). SO, I
would suggest looking for the actual spatial files(s) that you were
editing when it crashed. I assume they still exist, however, depending
on the data format, you probably would have lost the attributes you were
editing at the time of the crash.
The QGIS project file may also have been corrupted at the time of the
crash. You may have to use a backup to restore your last saved version.
I hope this helps

I’m using QGIS 3.16.0 on Windows 10, standalone PC. I have taken some
training, but am a pretty inexpert user. The map that I’ve spent
several months developing (for a book I’m writing) crashed on
Saturday, and when I tried to load it just now it is greyed out in the
Open Recent list (with an exclamation mark next to it) and File
Explorer no longer finds it on my hard disk.
I attempted to do what your website advised (downloaded DeBug View,
which did not appear to run on my computer). When the file crashed, I
had just added a couple of entries to an attribute table (it’s not a
large one, though there are others in the file). I’ve no doubt someone
more expert than I am could tell me how to extract a crash report, if
that would be helpful.
Is there any chance of saving my map?
