Inkscape 1.1 on Windows 8.1 immediately crashes when I open any pdf file in my pdf-editing program.

Summary:

Hello! Thank you for all your hard work! Inkscape 1.1 on Windows 8.1 immediately crashes when I open any pdf file in my pdf-editing program (Ashampoo PDF Pro 2) with the message that file gdbus.exe stopped working

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Windows 8.1 (Pro version in my case)
  • open Inkscape (doesn't matter if you open existing svg file or just blank page)
  • open program Ashampoo PDF Pro 2 (always crashes) or Libreoffice Draw (I saw Inkscape crashed when I first opened pdf in this progam, but I can't repeat it anymore)
  • in pdf editing program click File-Open, select any PDF file
  • You'll see a crash message with information that Inkscape.exe stopped working and also file gdbus.exe stopped working
