Short description of error
Blender crashes each time i click on User preferences, wether i do it from the File menu or the viewports menu

There were some similar reports and 'usual' response there was:
But given the fact that this apparently also happens in a "single window scenario" (as you said this also happens trying to open the prefs from the header menu) I would still like to ask:
File > Load Factory Settings
)Marking as incomplete until we have these answered

Try fixing your environment vriables.
It happened to me for some reason.
Cycles crashed for me, I tried to open preferences(gpu was somehow deselected) it crashed.
Deleted all settings, blender wouldn't open anymore even after reinstall.
the only thing that fixed it was setting CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST environment variable to NONE before running blender.
How and where i can set CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST to NONE? Anyway i tried every suggestion, i even changed my graphic card with the former graphic card i had (Nvidia Quadro K420, wich gave me no problems with blender) and it keeps crashing.
Thanks
Not a windows guy, but I think in a command prompt
SET CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST=NONE
should do it, you can check withECHO %CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST%
then run blender.exe
(this is pretty much a shot in the dark, but as @Yossi2010 mentioned it helped, we should try this...)
Not working. Could it be the OS? the fact is that it worked before and there was no OS change. At this point i really don't know what do.
I also noticed that blender crashes if i change the render type in Cycles render.
Thanks for the help though
I have downloaded the zip version of Blender 2.79.6 from Blender Builder and it works now, everything is fine. I will use this version until 2.8 release where i hope the same problem won't occur.
Thanks for the support
Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Resolved'
Hm, glad we have a solution, even though the root of the problem is still not found...
Anyways, closing then.
