Can't remember when it started, but it's getting really annoying recently.
Info from event viewer shows that the crash always happens in one of the following 4 DLLs:ntdll.dll, combase.dll, RPCRT4.dll, KERNELBASE.dll.
Error off-sets are often different between crashes(even when crashing in the same DLL file), but the error codes are always the same:
0xc00000fd (which means stack overflow I guess?)

So-far I've tried the following fixes to no avail:
  • Reboot into safe-mode.
  • Run SFC /SCANNOW
  • Use ShellExView to disable any 3rd party shell extensions
  • Turning off Windows Defender(MS Security Essential) and Windows Firewall

I've gathered some error off-sets from event viewer:
  • ntdll.dll: 0x0000000000005ff1, 0x0000000000004db4, 0x0000000000004e55, 0x00000000000066eb
  • combase.dll: 0x00000000001683de, 0x0000000000008958, 0x000000000015381c, 0x0000000000008995
  • RPCRT4.dll: 0x0000000000010480, 0x000000000000f129, 0x000000000000f165, 0x000000000004c446
  • KERNELBASE.dll: 0x0000000000001327, 0x000000000002decc, 0x0000000000001327,
