 ## Fixed
 <!-- Bug fixes -->
+- Windows: a failed or nil `GetRequest` in the WebResourceRequested handler no longer kills the process (`log.Fatal` / nil-dereference panic) — the request is dropped and logged instead in [PR](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/pull/6006) by @midagedev

 <!-- Soon-to-be removed features -->
