Warcraft 3 Reforged can crash when clicking the minimap under certain conditions, like in the single player campaign. Here are a couple of ideas you can try out to fix the problem or at least avoid it.
Warcraft 3 is with no doubt one of the best real time strategy (RTS) games ever made, so expectations were high when Blizzard released their Remaster version Warcraft 3 Reforged back in 2020. Unfortunately, the game was rather a disappointment – some popular features of the original game were removed, and furthermore, Warcraft 3 Reforged was full of bugs, with some of them being present until today.
One of the probably most annoying bugs a game can have is crashing completely, and it can happen to you in Warcraft 3 Reforged as well. Players keep reporting a bug which is most likely related to the games' minimap: They end up on their desktop after having clicked on it, and it also occurred for us in certain campaigns, particularly often in the Sentinel campaign chapter 4 "Wrath of the Betrayer", as well as in the Alliance campaign chapter 1 "Misconceptions".

The game is out for several years now, and Blizzard will probably focus more on more valuable games like World of Warcraft or Diablo 4 than on a game that has a lower player base and that is widely considered a disappointment.
