I have both of the latest stable and preview releases installed. Both started crashing immediately after loading a scene. The event viewer shows either one of these errors (below). I have already tried reinstalling but it’s still crashing. Please help

Could you share the faulty scene with us (upload it to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google drive, etc. and post the link here)?

Slicer has been crashing periodically. Seems to be happening regardless of what scene I have open. For your testing purposes I’ve included a dropbox link above.

This is the error I get each time:

Thanks for the additional information. To investigate this, I would need the complete scene - saved as an .mrb file. (The .mrml file that you uploaded does not contain any bulk data, such as images, segmentations, markups.)

While not resolving your problem, I could load your MRB file without any issue on Linux.

By the way, it’s a very beautiful segmentation of cerebral arteries. I wonder how much time was spent on this and how you proceeded. For it’s not a trivial exercise.
