Blender 3.1 crashes and requires computer restart to run Blender again

Blender will crash and I can’t re-open it. A window appears for a split second and then nothing. (See attached image) I have to restart my machine to get it to run again. I’ve had this issue on 2 different computers.
I’m using 3.1. I have latest Nvidia driver. I tried deleting my user preferences and no luck. I also uninstalled all old versions of Blender and reinstalled 3.1 and am running no paid or 3rd party add-ons.
It seems to to happen more when I run more than 1 instance of Blender.
I posted this on Facebook and few other people seemed to have the same issue.
Any help appreciated.

Hello and welcome to BlenderArtists!


I would suggest producing Blender crash logs and then share them here.

If things appear to be a bug, perhaps you can create a bug report about the crash with the logs.

Here is a guide I made a while back on how to create and find those crash logs:


Feel free to ask if you need any help or have any further questions.

I’ve had this since I started using Blender 9 months ago. This happens in 2.93 as well as 3.1.
