Never had a problem.... until now, it opens fine, but it instantly crashes when I open a file, any file. It works while I work in the New/Start Up file, but it also crashes when I save that and try to Open it...

It started crashing after I (a few minutes ago) deleted all files from the C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp folder... where it stores some of the .blend files... (I guess for a backup)... not sure if it stores any system/app files there also....

Any idea how may I solve this and or check what is causing the problem....

Thanks guys

Hell yeah. Removed Blender and installed it into a new folder. Works fine. Phewwwww.

Although this post is a few years old, this .blend file crash issue is still quite common. Here are some solutions that usually work:

Simple but effective approach:

  1. Delete user preferences (File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings)
  2. Restart Blender
  3. Try to open your file with Load UI disabled in the open options

If your file still crashes when opening directly:

  1. Create a new Blender scene
  2. Go to File > Append
  3. Navigate to your problematic file and import the objects/collections you need

If the above methods don't work, have a look at this article with more advanced solutions, including how to recover corrupted files: 3 Ways to Prevent a Blender File from Crashing on Opening
