Multi Commander stopped working on start. If I disable check for new version on start it works but I want to deploy to machines silently so I looking for a better solution.
Probably it fails because we use internet proxy so MC has no direct internet access.

C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config\MultiCommander.xml
    <checkfornewversion value="0"/>

Hmm strange. I can't reproduce that.
Using proxy should work, It picks up the proxy settings from where it is configured in internet settings

You can start with parameter /NOUPDATECHECK it will also skip that.

You can deply the Portable vesion and edit the default config file so that update check is off

Probably proxy authentication cause the problem. How could I help you to reproduce? Do you want a video? NOUPDATECHECK is a workaround but HELP/CHECK UPDATE cause the same.
I use the installer and replace the config file immediately.

So people still use proxy. Hmm Okey.  It might be that.
Problem is that all proxy handling is handled by windows. I do not handle it my self inside MC, I use existing functions in Windows for that.
I can't really fix it unless I can recreate it. So a video is to no use.
And since it can't talk to the net, It can't even send a crash reprot to my system. So I do not have that to go on.

I will add it to my list to check,

If you start the MultiUpdate , does it also crash if it checks for new version? it is using similar ways to talk to internet
