CREO Exploding View Causing Fatal Crash

I'm working with one of our users who is unable to use the "explode" feature on an assembly. Every time they toggle the "Exploded View" on/ off - CREO just dies & has a fatal error.

 

However, we tried exploding/ unexploding that assembly on 2 different laptops & it worked just fine, so we don't believe its anything with the model.

 

Comparing this machine to the ones that worked, we verified the exact same setup (same version of CREO which was uninstalled & reinstalled 2x, same version of Windows, same GPU, same NVIDIA Driver version, same power/ battery settings, same corporate/ standard config.pro file, brand-new workspaces, etc).

 

Any ideas/ obvious fixes I may have missed?

    Any user config.pro files in the default Working Directory on the machines?

    Have you tried removing (renaming) the cache?

    Hi ​@NB_11000969,

     

    You can also try the crashing user profile on a working machine and a working user profile on the crashing machine.  That could help to identify any user vs machine level settings.
    If there is a traceback.log file, have you opened a support case and provided the traceback.log and trail.txt?
