Windows 10 Machine crashes when running the immich-go script for importing a google takeout file

[Peccadilloz]

Hi guys,

so I run this script on my win10 machine which also hosts my immich instance on docker desktop to import my google photos takeout file .

The takeout file is only 1 part of under 50GB.
It finds the server and loads the images from the takeout file and starts the process.
After a few minutes however, the computer freezes and is forced into a restart.

The immich-go script remains incomplete, meaning just some of the pictures were transferred to immich.

First I tried --no ui and a task limit to 1 but to no avail, this is my current command:

immich-go upload from-google-photos --server=http://localhost:2283 --api-key=XXX --manage-raw-jpeg=StackCoverRaw --manage-burst=Stack --no-ui --concurrent-tasks=1 --client-timeout=120m --on-errors=continue "B:\Immich_go\takeout-d.zip"

attached is the current log file:
immich-go_2026-03-11_08-21-38.log

It just stops at the point when the computer freezes.
I checked and it's always a different last file being worked on, so I don't think it's a specific file the script takes issue with.

By the way, I also tried to do the same for the google takeout files for my partner for her immich account, same issue.
Script starts and after a while the computer freezes.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Okay, seems like the Windows Defender went crazy with all the scans and the Defender’s kernel filter driver crashes.
I got this from the minidump file which windows creates when the system crashes.

Had to enter defender exclusions for the folders where the takeout files and immich files are, then it works just fine.
