Hello kamsone1,
I think the thread may be helpful for other users, who may experience similar issues.
From time to time we are receiving reports from the users who have the application crashing when trying to open the GPU preferences tab, and these crashes are related to Intel graphics drivers installed by some Windows update. Removing Intel drives with some utilities (like DisplayDriverUninstaller, for example) should solve the problem, as most of such reports come from the desktop systems that actually do not have any integrated graphics.
