[Qgis-user] Crash on startup of QGIS 2.8.6 (nightly build)

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

Or you can use different startup options - see
http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/getting_started.html#command-line-options


with the 

--configpath C:\temp\qgistest 

You can temporarily set your .qgis2 directory to some other path without
loosing your settings. It also writes the Windows registry settings into
a QGIS.ini file. 

--noplugins helps to disable all plugins 

As others said, in 95% of the cases it is because of a broken plugin or
setting.
