Blender crashes on startup

PS C:\Users\USER\Desktop\blender-2.93.5-windows-x64> .\blender.exe
Read prefs: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\config\userpref.blend
Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Address : 0x00007FFEC25B540C
Module : python39.dll

Tried

  • Updating windows
  • updating to latest nvida gpu drivers (497.76)
  • choosing either "power mode" under Display Settings=> Graphics Settings (both options were RTX 3080)
  • Uninstalling latest windows updates
  • rolling back to previous nvidia driver (497.13 i think it was)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Start blender

From the crash log, there may be a fluid simulation in your startup.blend that is causing this.

@lichtwerk, #92423 (Blender freeze rendering animation with Mantaflow) may need to be backported to 2.93.

I started up blender in another PC and copied the startup.blend and userpref.blend from %APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\config
Then I replaced the files on my pc and now Blender works!
Thank you so much!

So since we have the startup file fixed and a possible fix is already in the queue to be backported, will just merge into #92423
