Short description of error
Blender 2.8 never opens.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Double click the Blender.exe file in the blender 2.8 folder.
The small black terminal / console window opens, then the main window appear for Blender but goes away in a second or so. Both windows closed.
Always.
Please run blender from terminal with --debug-gpu option, and report here the result (error messages in that terminal).

Thanks. Here is the report -
the blender window opens for few seconds and then closes automatically.
Blender window opens and I saw 2.8 for fist time!! but cannot use it. The text message is displayed / running continuously in the terminal window. It is because of print screen, the terminal window looks still. I hope you get what i am trying to say.
At some point it becomes still, but when I do anything in the blender window like select the default cube, blender does not respond and the terminal window has continuous text running.
@Clément Foucault (fclem) I downloaded the latest build, Blender still wont open.
I hope the screenshot was useful
@Clément Foucault (fclem) I think that 'working with --debug-gpu, crashing without it is already known issue?
@Karan (karan81s) Can you try with latest build? I fixed a very similar issue by commiting rBd96715fe5c1652bff1542480d81ea629f02d53b5
Hi, I have a similar problem too
I have no problem in opening blender 2.79, instead blender 2.8 crashes on opening when I use the GPU "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070"
It depends on the GPU because if I use the GPU "Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630" if opens correctly and works just fine.
I attach the error message I got in the prompt
In this case I solved the problem by attaching the monitor to a different monitor slot ( probably the Nvidia GPU one, while before it was attached to the other GPU I assume) and now it opens and work just fine.
Hope this may help.
I have windows 10 and blender 2.8 when I try to open to open it it opens some sort of black thing like a terminal for a few seconds then it crashes how cam I fix it?

Usually due to video driver problems. First thing is make sure your video driver is up to date from the card manufacturer.
If that doesn't help, check the minimum requirements for running blender, to make sure your system meets them.
