Whenever I open Blender 2.82a, It crashes at startup and the icon in the blender directory(where I installed Blender) disappears and whenever I install a new version of blender, again the same thing happens and I’ve also tried it with Blender 2.83, I have no antivirus installed. I have also tried to open it with command prompt and it opens but the problem is that I can’t always open command prompt and open blender because it is time-consuming than just clicking on the icon. When I install a new version of blender, I first try to run it from the command prompt and it works also but then afterward when I try to open it from blender.exe file in the blender directory which I have installed on my D: drive, It crashes at startup and the icon of blender.exe file disappears from the blender directory in D: drive. How can I solve this problem? Please reply and can I use any third-party uninstaller to uninstall it completely
SPECS:

GPU: GTX 1050Ti

DRIVER: latest

OS: Windows 10

PROCESSOR: Intel i5 9400F @2.90GHz

I noticed that when I install Blender on my C: drive, It works but when I install it on my D:drive, It just doesn’t work but before it was working when I installed it in my D: drive. Is there any way to make it work when it is in my D: drive only?; because my C: drive is an SSD of 240gb and if I install blender in it, my PC will become slow.

edit: now it’s not working on C: drive also. When I run it with blender_debug_gpu, it works but when I try to open it with blender.exe file, it crashes and the blender.exe file disappears.

You have to delete Blender prefs from a app folder somewhere in windows. I’ll check.

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/blender_directory_layout.html

Delete those folders and then install again.

Tried but nothing happened and the same issue arrives.Any other way to resolve this issue??

I’m sorry. I can’t help you. It’s strange that it crashes after a clean install.

Edit: Maybe it’s the graphics drivers? Some people have reported problem with the latest drivers from nVidia. Maybe you need to have older drivers.

I’ve latest drivers.
EDIT: Before I had old drivers and at that time it was not working but now when I updated the drivers, still the problem persists.
