FileBot

Posted: **04 Jan 2026, 03:28**

I had Filebot setup previously and worked perfect had no issues. Had re-imaged Windows awhile back and had just gotten Filebot reinstalled however it keeps crashing with the error below.
Not sure if the issue is due to me having openJDK 25 installed and Filebot is trying to use the built-in 21.0.4 as shown in the error logs.
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

FileBot for Windows ships with its own JRE and does not use any JRE you may or may not have installed on your system. You could try older versions of FileBot (that might ship with different versions of the JRE) to see if that makes a difference. Please try the latest beta for good measure.

8 GB Max Memory / 43 MB Used Memory means that the FileBot process is configured to a memory limit of 8 GB. That limit is notably a per-process memory limit imposed by the JRE. Much higher than what FileBot will ever actually need or use, but since you have a lot of RAM, the max memory limit is high by default as well.

EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION is definitely an odd one though. It would suggest that there's code that doesn't run on your CPU. If the same code worked on the same hardware previously, then that would be very strange. But if you run the same code on different hardware, then that might explain this particular low-level error.

Thanks will try the beta but was just gonna use the docker version on my server good thing you replied easier to figure out what image to use from Docker Hub =).
