#How to stop a process from stopping itself?

So my paint.net process "crashed" when I was undoing something, it gave me this error that there was not enough storage space, and I know after clicking "OK" the process will automatically close itself, DESPITE me still being able to interact with the process while the error message is still there. So this leads me to believe the process automatically closes itself for some reason which is just bad coding, so how do I make it so that it can't close itself?
So the way paint.net works is it saves the session storage to file which its developer says cannot be reaccessed after a crash, so this means it's paired with memory in order to access that session storage, so I have rammap open, but I don't know what to do with it in order to CAPTURE the pages paint.net uses and make it use that memory again
Here is the error it throws FYI
I'm using windows 10 home edition 20h2 fyi
As you can see I'm still able to interact with the interface and rotate the image/whatever
This is very urgent as if my computer sleeps, the process will likely end itself by then

It seems like only part of the program is suspended and is waiting to crash itself, that is, the widget functionality which includes switching between layers, history, and switching tools

#

But I can still use the currently selected tool and it will display my changes made by in it in the history, I can switch between windows, and I can use everything in the dropdown menu of "File" including saving the artwork

#

But the reasonwhy I can't just "save" all my artworks and quit is obviously because there is stuff in the history which is not in the current revision of the artwork which I obviously cannot go back to and save

#

This is horrible coding on the developer's part, one functionality of the paint.net process crashes which tells itself to crash the whole program entirely.

#

If only I could "repair" that part of the process and have the problem be solved.

#

Also I cannot post on the developers forum because the forum is manual-approval only. How convenient is that!
