It looks like the deletion of the prefs folder solved the problem once and for all. Thanks again. I have absolutely no idea why the official support was not able to suggest this ...

Thanks.
I removed the preferences folder and so far no crashes. But afaik from other DCC applications if I customize the UI or other things inside Houdini these changes would be lost if I delete the pref folder. So if the crashing happens again in the future and I have to remove the folder again, I would loose all customizations, right?

I was able to remove the problem by uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling. But only for a day, the next day Houdini again crashes to desktop seconds after starting it.
How is this considered a professional software? I have used lots of DCC like C4D, Blender, Subtsance Painter, and many more. I have never seen one that was this unstable.
The support has no interest of helping and just say I should contact Steam support. Yeah, as if Steam support can help if Houdini is the problem. Houdini was not even able to suggest the solutions that I was able to find via a web search. It sounded as if the support person was either completely clueless or had no interest in helping at all.
I will now write a couple of bad reviews in relevant places.

Hello,
I bought a Houdini Indie license via Steam some dsays ago. I watched some tutorials and wanted to start using it, but it reproducible crashes to the desktop after a few seconds. This started after todays update to 18.5.563 (autoupdate by Steam), I was able to fiddle around some time without problems some days ago directly after installation. I today got an error message regarding Redshift Render after the Steam autoupdate.
The guys from Redshift told me I have to manually add a custom plugin version, I downgraded to 462 via Steam instead, but to no avail, Houdini still crashes to desktop after a few clicks. I then downgraded to the last version before 563 (532, I guess), but again still the same: crash after a few seconds. I then deactivated Redshift by uncommenting it from the env file. Houdini still crashes.
I looked into the folder where the logs are but found only an xml file listing tools and some svg files from the time of the crash.
Help?
Windows 10/64 (2004 19041.928)

RTX 3090, latest drivers (just installed because I thought this might be the problem)
