crashs since nvidia driver 591.74 Feb. 7, 2026, 11:10 a.m.
beyonickI still have crashes with or without the updates. I've been rendering (after removing the update and pausing it) for several hours without any problems. But it started again when I worked on another scene days later without any changes to the system. Not having crashes is probably not indicative for anything
An update (KB5074105) (26200.7705) arrived this morning.
I've been working on XPU all day, and it seems to be running smoothly.

LeozardOneBigTreeIf you can somehow transfer the project to Blender and meet your deadline, maybe do it and come back later. I'll also go back and try other things when I finish with this render
I have the same issue on the other machine with the 3080. Im done.
If its really an issue with Windows then GPU rendering with Cycles would produce errors as well, wouldn't it? If it doesnt, what does XPU Karma differently? If it does I can as well render on CPU in Houdini.
Edit: I can not find any reports on crashes during GPU rending in Blender related to the Windows update.
