I have tried to reproduce your issue, with .json pattern for fileDirectory too, but couldn't reproduce any error. I tried on multiple file locations too.

Hey we can't reproduce this. If you see this again, would you mind grabbing the "Windows Error Reporting" event from your event log? It will contain an identifier we can use to look up your crash.
