A. We have a minor bug in the tool which comes at end of the upgrade process or when it finish with the upgrade it just a pop with a dialog which says object reference when you came across this issue don’t worry about it.
It's just trying to start the service suite automatically which you will need to do manually.

Q. When I run the SDT application getting this error “Synergetic. Updater. Application. SDT has stopped working”
This may be happens sometime when you run the SDT application exe but, it giving you the error something like Windows cannot access the specified device, path or A problem caused the program to stopped working correctly.
Reason: It happens when there is a some kind of protection or antivirus running in the server or in the background which blocking the SDT for execution.
Resolutions:
Antivirus can be turned off during the upgrade process then turning back on after the upgrade process is finish which seems to be one of the resolution for this kind of errors.
SDT tool can be run from different server but same thing applicable needed the antivirus need to be turnoff. If there is no antivirus in the other server there will no issue you will encounter, but the condition is that the SDT file application should be in that server.
