That's a no repro for me, when it crashes does it produce a crash log i can perhaps look at?

There is no any log/crash log/stack trace at all.

Can you run it in the debugger and see where it crashes?

Not able to reproduce yet.

Are there any other details you can add to the list of steps? These multiple blenders are all the exact same version, right? So they'd be using the same userpref.blend file. But not seeing the error described.

First time i did that with old 3.6, and 4.0, check this with 4.1 and lite debug of 4.1. After reboot haven't did anything except of starting browser, discord, ... .

can you try #115954 ? Tablet support would still be broken, but at least it wouldn't crash blender anymore.

I'm kinda stabbing in the dark here, do you have a screenshot of the debugger when this crash occurs?
