Short description of error
Blender crashes when I try to open any file or folder from the Preferences dialog after activating Preferences ➔ Interface ➔ Temporary Editors ➔ File Browser ➔ Maximized Area. Switching that setting on and then trying to open a file (like an add-on) or folder from the Preferences dialog causes a reproducable Blender crash.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Start Blender.
Open Preferences.
Activate Preferences ➔ Interface ➔ Temporary Editors ➔ File Browser ➔ Maximized Area.
Activate the Node Presets add-on.
Assign a folder.
Blender crashes, at least on my system.

Blender also crashes when trying to open an add-on or a Keyboard layout data file.

Hmm, in the mean time I've noticed that Blender crashes with every attempt of opening a file from the Preferences, including a keymap and external add-ons, at least on my system.

I can't reproduce a crash on Windows or Linux with the latest master.

Could you please open Blender's installation directory and double click on the blender_debug_gpu.cmd. This will start Blender in debug mode and create log files. Try to make Blender crash again. Once it crashes the Windows Explorer should open and show you up to two files, a debug log and the system information. Add them to your bug report by clicking on the upload button as shown in the screenshot below or via drag and drop. Please also upload the crash log located in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[project name].crash.txt (or simply type %TEMP% into the path bar of the Windows Explorer).

Once you've done that please create a copy of C:\Users\cyber\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.92 (as a backup of your current preferences) and then repeat the same with the blender_factory_startup.cmd.

Thanks @rjg ,

I've just completely deinstalled Blender and all add-ons. Going to perform a clean reinstall of the latest alpha, and check if it's a local issue.

OK, deinstalled Blender completely, restarted, installed the latest alpha, and it seems to work now.

I suspect it was caused by some data file / folder conflict due to a parallel installation of Blender Octane.

The issue returned, but I think I error-trapped the culprit...

It's related to Preferences ➔ Interface ➔ Temporary Editors ➔ File Browser ➔ Maximized Area. Switching that setting on causes a reproducable Blender crash.

I'll adjust the inital bug report, if possible (I assume it'll be reopened after posting this).
