Windows IDE randomly closes/crashes "fatal exception"

As stated in the title. It happens very often, and often only within a few minutes of opening the IDE. Sometimes there is a crash report (which unfortunately disappears within a few seconds so I can't provide further details), and sometimes the whole IDE just vanishes! I haven't been able to find anything through google, and was hoping to get some tips or hints for troubleshooting this? Is there a console log somewhere that might have more details (and how to decipher them)?

I believe it started with one of the recent updates, but it's possible there's some conflict with my laptop (a Dell XPS 15 9570) which also had a recent BIOS update, as well as some other drivers.

Needless to say this has been frustrating! I have no idea what could be causing it, but google hasn't turned up anything so it doesn't seem like it's widespread.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Ah so I found the ui.log and this last part seemed relevant:

Hi FrostyCat, yes I found that article too and so far it seems to have fixed it. I'll test some more but so far so good it seems! Thanks :)
