Error message from Blink in v1.8.8-3

[1DegreeN]

I've upgraded to 1.8.8-3. When I click on the list box for the time interval in Blink, there is some error text displayed in the process console - see below. However everything appears to be still working OK. This is on Windows 10 x64.
The error text is as follows:

*** PCL Win32 System Exception: At address 00007FFC9767E592 with exception code C0000005 :
Access violation: invalid memory write operation at address 0000002500000000

We cannot reproduce this problem on any of our Windows 10 working and testing machines. From the information provided by the backtrace, this looks like a machine-specific issue related to graphics drivers (the exception is being thrown by the QProxyStyle::unpolish routine, which is responsible for preparing a graphics component for a subsequent redraw).

Can you share detailes about your computer? Also, can you try on a different machine?

[1DegreeN]

The PC which shows the error message is a Windows 10 x64 machine with a 1050Ti graphics adapter running v441.28 of the Nvidia drivers and DirectX 12.0

My laptop which has Intel graphics does not show the error.

There didn't appear to be any consequence to the error message and Blink's operation was unaffected.

Just got this error as well
Windows 10 x64
Intel i7-6700HQ
32 GB
Intel HD Graphics 530 (driver 21.20.16.4550)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M (driver 24.21.13.9835)

No previous issues with this PC and earlier versions of PixInsight

Thanks

Hi Jay,

These are not the latest versions of the Intel and Nvidia drivers for your graphics card. The latest versions are:

Intel HD Graphics 530: Driver version 26.20.100.7463

GeForce GTX 960M: Driver version 441.66

Try updating your graphics drivers. This error should not happen under normal working conditions.

Following my report of this error message, I've used PI for my normal Blink workflow on each of the subsequent 4 days and I have not seen the error recur. So it only manifested on the first use of 1.8.8-3 after upgrading from 1.8.8-2
I have not made any changes to my PC - no windows updates, no changes to graphics drivers, no other s/w installed or removed.

I am getting the same error, on a ryzen machine with Nvidia graphics.

I've had blink crash twice, and completely shut down the application.   And now Ive gotten a complete lockup of the application while doing image integration.  And had to do a hard kill on the application because it would not let me do anything.   

Same error message as 1Degree in pixinsight:
