System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.26020-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 551.23

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.2, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-12-05 07:41, hash: 9be62e85b727
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Im trying to fix errors i see in the console and than try to fix the code or temporary disable the addon. However, it constantly crashes, its ridiculous how often it crashes on Windows. I also do this on OSX, that is an older version. But ive seen thie same issue since i started working on a Windows system again. When ever i have the console open and perhaps enable/disable an addon, the GUI freezes and becomes unresponsive. Bl 4.0 is by far way worse.
Please not, i do use a script path directed to bl 2.91 but i add exceptions in those files when i test them in higher blender version

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
01 start blender
02 open console window
03 Check if there are errors (needs addon with will throw errors)
04 Open preferences
05 Try to disable it

Im also seeing tons of "error in sys.excepthook" that seems to be connected to an addon which loads HDR images. It throws an error, i guess, because an enum prop not found in a variable name. I think its trying to use a string to find an enum index.

Hi, thanks for the report. From screen-shot, freeze appears to happen when animation node is unchecked. Add-on is not supported to run in newer blender builds with python 3.10, 3.11
Does this happen with other add-ons as well?

Yes, always use one version to keep all addons and than use script path in preferences. I dont want double addons in all versions i keep, thats is a nightmare to control.

So best is, that i remove the script folder pointing to older bl version and see how the app runs then i guess.

EDIT
Though i must say, this same behavior of Blender 4.0 also happened in other versions when i had pointed it to a script folder in other version of blender. I always went crazy at how often Blender would freeze and most times needs to be closed. Note i also have a drive, Blender also tends to freeze a while when the drive needs to spin-up again after "sleep" state.

Yes, best to check with fresh scripts folder or just remove incompatible add-ons (like animation nodes)

That's function in python library. I don't think you've to worry about that 😅: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.excepthook

I don't see any bug in blender here. Use of incompatible add-ons mostly caused the crash. If problem persists with default preferences and official blender add-ons, feel free to open a new report.
Closing this instance for now.
