Short description of error
Blender is crashing when I try to use the Cycles renderer with any mesh in a window.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]
Start Blender 2.9 with the default start up file (so with a mesh cube in the window)
Switch the camera to Cycles.
Attempt to switch to rendered view.
Blender crashes.

Alternatively, Start Blender 2.9.
Delete the standard mesh cube from the default view.
Switch the camera to Cycles.
Set the rendered view to camera (ie. Cycles)
Attempt to create a mesh object of any sort.
Blender crashes
