Bl 2.80 beta will not run on win 10

The current build I’ve downloaded from blender.org (which has build hash 4dd0a90f4213) will not start on a windows 10 machine. There are no errors printed to the console, here’s the console history. I ran this from powershell.

PS C:\Users\RENDER3-PC\Desktop\Blender Daily\2.80.x> .\blender.exe
Read prefs: C:\Users\RENDER3-PC\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\config\userpref.blend
PS C:\Users\RENDER3-PC\Desktop\Blender Daily\2.80.x>

No User interface appeared after running the command above.

I can, however, start blender with the debugger option set like this

PS C:\Users\RENDER3-PC\Desktop\Blender Daily\2.80.x> .\blender.exe -d

Build: 01/01/2019 16:08 Windows Release
argv[0] = C:\Users\RENDER3-PC\Desktop\Blender Daily\2.80.x\blender.exe
argv[1] = -d

So, before I go and post a bug, anyone want to comment if there’s a workaround? Or let me know if this is a known issue and being worked on?

Here’s the system details for my machine. I tried to upload them as a file attachment, but the upload dialog told me that only jpg, png, gif and xml are supported and I had this in a text file.

It looks like you downloaded the 32bit version of blender (probably by accident). Can you try the 64bit version as a first step; it works on win10 for me at least.

Aha! Yep, good catch, weird, could have sworn I clicked the64 bit build. I just started downloading the 64 bit one now, and I checked this time that the download is the 64bit one. But seems like when I clicked on the 64 bit download link, another download started for the 32bit one. I think it might be due to the tablet I am using doing an extra click without me realising. I checked my download history and it looks like I did click to download the 64 bit one first, but the 32bit one started downloading too, and I accidentally cancelled the 64 bit download, thinking it was a duplicate. Oops

Aha, yep, that fixed it! Though I’m battling through other issues now, *sigh*. Ah well, not to worry, thanks for your help :smiley:
