I just installed latest CUDA Toolkit 13.2.1 on Windows 10 x64 with Visual Studio 2026 installed.
nvcc --version

Given a minimal cuda file to compile this fails:
minimal.cu
global void k() {}
int main() {
k<<<1,1>>>();
cudaDeviceSynchronize();
}
with:
nvcc .\minimal.cu
minimal.cu
nvcc error : ‘cudafe++’ died with status 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION)
doesn’t matter if trying to run from different shells or even trying Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022.
