Where to find Crash Reports on MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1

I'm running MacOs on a MacBook M1 Max and I had an application (Orca 3D Printing Slicer) crash on 2/3/25 around 02:00 and I haven't been able to open it successfully since. When I try to launch it, it displays the main screen for a couple seconds and then crashes with no error messages given. I've rebooted, ensured no other apps are running but it always crashes when started. I'm trying to figure out what has happened and how I can get it running again. If anyone can help with this, I'd appreciate it.

Secondarily, a Crash Report was produced on the first crash on 2//3/25. Now I'm trying to figure out where that report was stored. Attached is a screen capture of the first page of the report. Where are Crash Reports stored and how do I access them? I've read that there should be a Reports option in the Finder but I'm not seeing anything. I do believe I'm set as the administrator on my machine. What do I have to do to get these administrator tools showing in Finder? I need to get Orca back working again, PLEASE HELP ...

FWIW, open Console from the Utilities folder. You can select Crash Reports in the Sidebar. You can also right-click on a report to reveal the file in the Finder.

Ok, I installed Sequoia 15.3 and now Orca starts and appears to be running again. Seems odd that it needed the OS update to run and it just crashed without giving me any warnings that this was required. But at least it appears to be working again. I appreciate the help.

The first thing I'd suggest doing is downloading and running Etrecheck. Then, post the report it generates here. Etrecheck is specifically designed to show all the important technical information but none of your personal information. This information will be far more helpful in finding out the issues than crash reports where are not really designed for the end user.

FWIW, the current version of Sequoia is 15.3. I suggest you update.

I don't think the crash reports will help you at all. If you really want to see them then they can be found in the Console app.

How do I make the update to 15.3. When I go to System Settings->General, it shows me I'm running Sequoia 15.0.1 but it doesn't display any UPDATE links. I'm fairly new to the Mac world so please guide if possible. Thanks.

NEVERMIND, I FOUND IT. INSTALLING NOW ...

Ok, I installed it and ran the report. Truthfully, I'm not too happy with doing this. I don't necessarily trust this software. After looking at the report it really isn't saying anything. The report makes no mention of the Orca Slicer crash on 2/3/25. And makes no mention of the created Crash Report. I'd still like to find the actual Crash Report. Bottom line is I need to get this software back running.

I'm currently updating to Sequoia 15.3 (currently running 15.0.1).
