Couple of things I would try in this instance:

1. You mentioned it started following a Windows Update that didn't install well. This may have corrupted some files on your Windows installation. I would try a scan/repair on your Windows OS (if you haven't already done so).
You can do this in two ways:

- 1. Open a command prompt (elevated - run as administrator) and type "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) hit enter and let it do it's thing (may take a while). This will indicate if there's any issues with your system files that may be causing the crash. (It may find corrupted files it can't repair in which case try option 2).
- 2. Option two is DISM. Again, open an elevated command prompt window and type "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth" (no quotes) and let it do it's thing.

2. Another thing is try disabling any game overlays from Discord, Geforce/Nvidia, etc - these can sometimes cause games to suddenly crash out for no reason (especially if they share same key-bindings as the game).
