System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22621-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 536.99

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.6.2, branch: blender-v3.6-release, commit date: 2023-08-16 16:43, hash: e53e55951e7a
Worked: I believe it was far more stable before the realtime compositor implementation. (Blender 3.3-ish)

Short description of error
Blender crashes extremely frequently when using the compositor on my system, especially when the glare node is being used at all. Does not seem related to vram or system specs, and looking through logs has not come up with any errors - it just closes.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Adjust compositor glare node values with the viewer enabled. It seems to crash within a minute of doing so, usually sooner.

This is the most recent crash report blender has generated. Not sure if this was a crash directly related, but this was the project I was having the most issues with so I think it's likely related in some way.

All crashes in the crash test blend file above seemed to have generated no reports.

Unable to reproduce either.
Call stack and exception module is empty so not really sure about the reason of crash.

Please download alpha build from https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/ and run file blender_debug_log.cmd after crash check if .crash.txt file have more info. Also check if this happens with factory settings.

It does happen with factory settings unforunately. Trying the alpha build now!

Okay, I tried the alpha build and got it to crash with factory settings immediately. The crash generated no crash.txt in either the debug log folder, nor in the blender temp file crash folder. I have however attached the output and info files for reference.

I don't know if this will help, but there's no pausing or freezing when it happens. It's just like blender closes, while I'm fiddling with a slider in the compositor or hitting render. It's not guaranteed to happen, but it will happen within a minute of doing these sorts of things.

Edit: It's not just the glare node that will do this, the compositor seems to be erratic on my system despite no other blender function having problems. The glare node is just a way quicker path to recreating it on my end.

I might be incorrect, but I think this behavior started after the realtime compositor was implemented, so something being handled strangely by the gpu could be a cause.

@Holly-R-Jencka Do you use realtime compositor when this happens? Or perhaps full frame compositor?

It seems to happen whether I'm working in the compositing editor on a render, or viewing something with the real time compositor turned on. Realtime is strange though, sometimes it seems to work without issue but sometimes it just crashes out the blue while working in a scene for a few minutes with it active.

Hi, with following setup I'm still not able to confirm the crash in 3.6 and 4.2: image

Since crash.txt is not generated, could you check event-viewer or reliability monitor for errors after crash.
Also check whether crash happens when blender is launched from command line with --debug-gpu-force-workarounds argument.
Could be hardware/driver error here. Does this happen with newer NVIDIA drivers?
