The platform just randomly shut down on me and closed out on its own, I lost all the charts I was working on because it did not close properly and save everything

What might be the reason for this ?

We think the problem is what is described here:
Notice: Stack Overflow Issue

This is believed to be a Windows operating system level issue. As we have not identified any problem in Sierra Chart which would cause this and it is very unlikely there is a problem in Sierra Chart causing this. We want you to update to the current version:
Software Download: Fast Update

Make sure you are also running Sierra Chart in Safe Mode. This is essential. Instructions:
Sierra Chart - Software Login Instructions: Using Safe Mode

If you have a further problem let us know and then we will give you instructions to access a special version, which may help us identify the problem.

Also there are backup Chartbooks available assuming one of them has what you need:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Accessing a Backup Chartbook File

And you can set Sierra Chart to automatically save Chartbooks:
General Settings Window: Auto-Save Chartbooks and Spreadsheets (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Chartbooks)

I have updated to the current version and will see how things go from here,

When it comes to Safe mode it says "Safe Mode prevents the loading of custom studies and the automatic opening of Chartbooks and other files"

I do have custom studies on my charts as well as a default chartbook that opens every time I login to sierra chart,

If i choose to enable Safe mode what difference would I expect to see relating to that

When using Safe Mode, the custom studies will not be loaded or used and if the problem no longer occurs it is possible the issue is related to those custom studies.
