- # Release Notes for v44.2.0
- ## Fixes
- * Fixed a pending read on a `net.request` chunked upload stream inside a protocol handler never settling when the request failed or was aborted.

- * Fixed a potential crash when using `menu.popup` with a frame from an offscreen rendered window. [#53362](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53362) <sup>(Also in [43](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53432))</sup>
- * Fixed an intermittent crash (access violation) on Windows when an ASAR integrity violation is detected, so the process now exits with code 1 as intended. [#53455](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53455) <sup>(Also in [43](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53456), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53438))</sup>
