This is very low priority, so please ignore if you have higher priorities, otherwise please shed some light if you can.

System Information
Operating system: Linux vs Windows 10
Graphics card: Haswell iGPU

Blender Version
Broken: 4.2
Worked: 3.6
Short description of error
Blender 3.6 runs on both, however, Blender 4.2 only runs on Linux (Mint for example) and not on Windows 10.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Start Blender 4.2 using Blender.exe or launcher, and it will crash in Windows 10, but works perfectly on Linux using Haswell iGPU.

I know Broadwell is minimum listed support now for 4.2. What I am wondering is what is bad about Wintel iGPU drivers that has been fixed in Linux. Specifically, I read in one post (can't remember which one) Blender devs specifying a Wintel iGPU driver version after which Haswell iGPU crashed Blender 4.2.

Can we be more specific, which old Wintel Haswell iGPU driver version does Blender 4.2 work on?

Thankyou.

A, most likely incomplete, list is documented in the manual: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.1/troubleshooting/gpu/windows/intel.html#legacy-intel-hd-4000-5000

I don't think we'll be spending more time going through hardware and drivers on our side for what amounts to a vendor bug on unsupported hardware. Members of the community can band together to help fill in any blanks though.

Closing since Haswell iGPUs are below minimum supported hardware.
