Blender 2.78c don´t start anymore.
The command line shows only: Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Two installations i have done:
> the Creators Update for Windows 10. (64bit version)
> new driver for GeForce GTX 970: Geam Ready Driver Version 381.65

I found this bug thread: https://developer.blender.org/T44654
but it doesn´t tell me what to do.

SOLVED:
The last NIVIDIA Game Ready Driver 381.65 blocks Blender and also other grafic programms
After a deinstallation and use of the previuos one, it works all fine again.

Hi, do you use original driver from Nvidia home page or Windows update driver?
For this bug was already a fix pushed in 2015, must be something different.
Make a new report with all information about your system and post result of clinfo.
Run in DOS box > http://download.blender.org/ftp/sergey/clinfo/
Also helpful is info text from help menu, please attach as text file not paste in to the report.
You can also check nightly builds from builder.blender.org.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin
Thanks for the fast responds!
The driver is installed over NIVIDIA GeForce Experience.
I tried the latest build 2.78 & 2.80 and DOSBox (clinfo) > all without success
Blender: error…like before
DOSBox:


C:\>clinfo—win64.exe
Illegal command: cl info—win64.exe

What you mean with: info text from help menu?
