Maya 2018/2019 Opening Hypershade and Freezing/Crashing on Startup

[Anonymous]

So this is an issue I've now had with both Maya 2018 and now 2019, both student versions, without explanation everytime I launch Maya, it also opens Hypershade at the exact same time and freezes up completely, nothing to do but force close through task manager.

I've tried fresh installs, of both, completely wiping both from my computer uninstalling and deleting all files and fresh installing and still no fix. I'm not quite sure what to do now. Graphics card is completely up to date, and I'm running on Windows 10.

Output Window says:

Try these suggestions.

1. Update you graphic card driver

2. Try disabling OpenCL by adding

MAYA_DISABLE_OPENCL=1

Maya 2019 crusher when opening Hypershade.  I did this, but still crushes:

1. Update you graphic card driver

2. Try disabling OpenCL by adding

MAYA_DISABLE_OPENCL=1

Had the same issue (probably also crashing on opening a material in the Attribute Editor). It appears that the crash occurs when a material Thumbnail is processed.

You may try disabling the thumbnails update with the following line (or into the Hypershade before opening the scene) and see if Maya still crashes.

import maya.cmds as mc
mc.renderThumbnailUpdate(False)

Also, in my case, the crash happend only with texture paths with more than 205 characters (regarding the absolute path), you might check this too...

Hope this would help anyone.
