Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 512.59

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.2.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-04-28 19:13, hash: 308a12ac64
Worked: Previous build (yesterday?)

Short description of error
Any startup file that does not have the factory default cube freezes when trying to go to Material Preview.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
So it took a while to isolate this. Initially thought it was one of my addons because the factory default was running fine. But then realized it wasn't the addons.

Then I figured it might be a corrupt startup file and removed that and created a brand new one. Worked fine but then when I made changes such as removing the factory default cube, it would again start freezing when trying to enter Material Preview.

I readded a new Cube thinking it might be an issue of a mesh not being in the startup blend when I boot. But it's not. It HAS to be the FACTORY Default Cube. Nothing else. If the factory default cube is deleted from the startup blend, then entering Material Mode freezes.

It's gotten to us boys. The revenge of the Default Cube. This is it.

Hopefully someone else can replicate this bug too.

Delete factory default cube and save startup file.
Close Blender and Reopen.
Add a mesh and try to go to Material Preview.
Freeze.
