Though from what I read using the refresh my PC option uninstalls programs or something to that extent, so backing up may be necessary. I don't know if you've already tried this stuff or not though.
I already had Windows Defender disabled which didn't change anything, I got frustrated with it a while ago and tried a few things but couldn't fix it and accepted defeat, but I lost 750 words of a 1500 word assignment because it crashed microsoft word while trying to save earlier so I have been kicked into action again
I didn't try the refresh my PC thing because it uninstalls all my programs but I'll try that tomorrow afternoon, I don't have the patience to do it at 11pm when I have to be up at 6 the next day ;_; thanks for the pointers!
