Ingo instigated further

Thus graphics driver of Nvidia Quadro K600 seems not to be basic origin of freeze.

Its possible to turn off acceleration of the video card. Does that stop it from crashing?

This is discussed in octave-ML.
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Octave-4-0-0-freezes-during-start-on-win7-td4670661.html

I am not sure this is a really bug or not but deserve to record it in the bug tracker.

Issue
when starting any of the *.exe files in installdir\bin, an empty terminal window opens and freezes immediately. The window can neither be closed nor killed via the process-manager.

Environments
octave 4.0.0
Windows 7 (don't know 32 or 64 bit)
Graphics card Nvidia Quadro K600

Investigation in the discussion octave ML

  • Octave only starts up in safe mode (only least basic drivers are installed)
  • octave --no-gui-libs does not make sense for freeze
  • octave 3.8.2 works but working graphics_toolkit is only gnuplot (I guess from descrition "windows is falling back to some basic graphics mode (non-aero design). ")

I suspect that this issue is related to OpenGL hardware acceleration of graphics card. (There is no direct evidence.)
