Crash when using Zoom and PowerPoint

[max-venturenix]

I used to use Zoom and share the screen to present with PowerPoint. However, when I quit the presenter mode on ppt, it crashed every times with the follow msg:

Hi there - thanks for the report. Since the crash appears to be in WindowServer, I don't think I can do much about that. WindowServer can and does crash for myriad of various internal reasons and only Apple could debug what's happening inside.

Try resetting the windowserver configuration file and/or BetterDisplay, probably something is messed up. https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/wiki/Safe-mode,-app-reset,-app-removal#exhaustive-reset
