Cycles gpu compute doesn't work in 2.82, but does in 2.81

For whatever reason GPU compute rendering works (both in viewport and renders in version 2.80 & 2.81), but 2.82 up will freeze Blender. In the display port, when I bring up the pie menu and select ‘render’ it freezes, and if I just start a render (f12) it locks up also. Any help appreciated.

Might be similar to my problem… have a look at this.

Thank you. After reading a bit I decided to try and build Blender and now gpu compute works for 2.83a.
Thanks again.

Good to hear! Did you build without USD?

Yes! USD was set to off.
