System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 442.19

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.83 branch: master - commits after date: 2020-04-06 21:23, hash: 10f0e003a9 (can't get commits numbers because can't run the app of latest build. Only have zip files names of builds blender-2.83-1239cab11ff9-windows64, blender-2.83-ea5a2efb5707-windows64, blender-2.83-9d0f4520768f-windows64 )
Worked: version: 2.83 (sub 12), branch: master, commit date: 2020-04-06 21:23, hash: 10f0e003a9

Short description of error
When try to start blender.exe. I'm getting a Blender app opened with white flat color, and previous builds also stop opening correctly. If I'm doing
a reboot of windows, previous build startsup correctly. But if I try to open latest build of blender, previus build also freezes on startup.
I think the latest builds are crashing the vieo card drivers somehow, so previous build won't startup correctly before a reboot of reinstalling drivers

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
run Blender.exe of the latest experimental build
get white screen

The range you describe is narrow enough, but could you please do the following:

  1. Make sure your drivers are up to date
  2. Double check that things work when running the blender-2.83-10f0e003a95a -windows64
  3. Double check that things don't work with blender-2.83-9d0f4520768f-windows64

In all these cases please run with factory startup (Open your windows console with cmd, go to Blender's folder and blender.exe --factory-startup).

Hello
I have exactly the same problem after starting today's build 2.83. Everything worked fine yesterday. As soon as I downloaded and launched today’s new everyday build 2.83, everywhere this eternal white screen

@dfelinto I have up to date Geforce drivers (tested with Studio and GameReady drivers) getting the same result: blender-2.83-10f0e003a95a -windows64 working fine, if I don't run newer build before in my windows session.
Runnig with factry defaults won't help.
Sometimes this bug with white screen desappers when I run blender-2.83-10f0e003a95a -windows64 before opening newer build (but only sometimes).
Also I tried to delete my userprefs.blend file and tried to run newest build blender-2.83-1239cab11ff9-windows64 - didn't help. So I ran with recording logs. Here are my logs, when I'm getting white screen

Anyone claiming yesterday was fine, can you confirm that the build you tested was ea5a2efb5707?

Same problem here on the latest win64 build. Deleting BF folder from AppData and --factory-startup don't help.

Seems to have been caused by https://developer.blender.org/rBd571d615a59a40f1d313121cf07fe6e17461e8f0
Gets stuck in the loop in GHOST_WindowWin32::initializeWintab()

If blender2.83 open correctly when you are inside and open a new window, for example preferences, the problem can be the same and create a blank window that freezed the program

@AlbertoVelazquez to clarify, can you repeatedly cause problems in 2.82a by having launched 2.83 prior, and repeatedly fix it by restarting the PC?

Just on a hunch, if you have GIMP installed could you launch it and see if that also fixes 2.82a, or alternatively is it also broken?
