Houdini 22.0 Instant Crash on Splash Screen (KERNELBASE.dll) 2026年7月20日17:28

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing an instant, silent crash on startup with Houdini 22.0 (tested both 22.0.368 and 22.0.386, including the Py311 build).
The splash screen appears for a split second and then closes without throwing a visible error.
The crash logs generated in %TEMP%/houdini_temp remain at 0 KB, meaning Houdini is being killed before it can write a log.

System Specs:
CPU: AMD Threadripper

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (Driver version: 610.74)

OS: Windows 11 Insider Preview (Build 10.0.26200 / Kernelbase 10.0.26100)

Windows Event Viewer Log:
Every time I launch houdini.exe, Windows logs the following Application Error (Event 1000):

Faulting Application Name: houdini.exe

Faulting Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll

Exception Code: 0xe06d7363 (Visual C++ Runtime Exception)

Faulting Offset: 0x00000000000c1ada


Has anyone encountered this specific issue on Windows Insider build?

Thanks in advance for your help!
