If that does NOT fix "freeze"/Stopped, let us know. Cable MUST be attached to Computer USB port (BUT NOT to car OBD II Socket) to get "Ports" to appear in Device Manager.]
Heres the DME error memory with freeze frame data...
CAS error memory
Ignition ON test for CAS
Cranking test for CAS
DME test

I understood you to say that the Starter cranked the engine. That's what is generally what "Crank only, no start" means: the Starter turns/ cranks the engine but the engine does NOT fire.

You could NOT possibly activate the Starter and Crank the engine with ONLY 9.25V System Voltage, which is the HIGHEST voltage shown on any of the "Live Data" screens.

Please charge the battery to > 12.0 volts measured at the Jumpstart Terminals > 10 minutes after disconnecting charger, and try "Ignition ON" & "Cranking Test" again, attaching INPA screens as before (ONLY those two).

BTW, you MAY have a short-to-ground in the Wire from the CAS Module to the Starter Solenoid. The Amps/Current draw during attempted Starter Cranking (START button pressed) is WAAAY high at 28.52A. That should be in the range of 10A. If you see the Amps Value "in the Red" area of the bar graph (> 15A), STOP further pressing of START Button and post back.
