I am experiencing a severe and persistent technical issue with Blender 5.0.

Blender loads correctly, and I can navigate the top menus (File, Edit, etc.) without any problem. However, the application completely freezes and becomes unresponsive the moment I interact with the 3D Viewport.

The freeze is consistently triggered within seconds of manipulating mesh components. For example, simply selecting a vertex, or trying to move a single vertex with the G key and the mouse, causes the application to immediately hang and requires me to force-close Blender.

The issue has been happening consistently for the last three days, despite trying multiple common stability fixes.

I have already attempted to improve stability by reducing the Undo Steps and setting an Undo Memory Limit in the System preferences, but the freezes still occur.

I suspect this is a GPU/Graphics Driver communication error given that the crash happens only upon 3D viewport interaction.

How can I fix this?

    $\begingroup$ Without knowing about your computer specs or operating system the first standard course of action would be updating graphics drivers $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23 at 22:39
  • $\begingroup$ Thank you sir, but updating the driver for my Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 using the Intel Driver & Support Assistant did not fix the crashing issue. Blender still loads fine, but as soon as I try to interact with the 3D Viewport (like moving a vertex), it freezes immediately..idk what to do $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23 at 23:20

    $\begingroup$ Make sure that your machine conforms to the requirements for Blender 5 which are discussed here. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 24 at 0:23

    $\begingroup$ I think this should be closed as off-topic. It's either about a bug, or the problem is caused by a machine not matching minimum hardware requirements. Either way, there is nothing that can be done about it in an answer the way I see it. @Fatinis.27, you should make sure your system matches the requirements and if so, report this as a bug to the developers so it may have a chance of being fixed. If your machine, does not meet minimum requirements, then that's your answer basically... $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 24 at 2:46
  • $\begingroup$ Thank you, sir, for your concern. This issue was really annoying and lasted for several days. I did what you told me to do, and it turns out my laptop isn’t equipped to run Blender perfectly. It’s only good enough to “survive,” lol. It works, but with problems like this. I noticed that the freeze was affecting the whole system.. I couldn’t even exit Blender anymore, I had to close it from the taskbar. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 24 at 19:34
