A number of Windows 10 users (edit: also Windows 8.1 and several other versions are affected) have reported crashing in Dream Seeker due to a patch that was put out today. Here's more information that shows the exact same crash is impacting many more people:

Per the instructions in that thread, I would advise removing the patch KB3132372 until such time as Microsoft puts out a new one. Also make sure that Flash for Internet Explorer is up to date.

More information and other user solutions can be found in id:2007764.

[update 1/1/16]
Microsoft is now aware of the issue and is researching it alongside Adobe. Hopefully they'll have a fix for this post haste.

Thank you! I have also been cursed with having to use Windows 10 and this fix worked like a charm.

Complete instructions for Win10 users
  • Open start menu, type in "update" and click "windows update settings"
  • Click "Advanced Options"
  • Click "View Update History"
  • Click "Uninstall Updates"
  • In the upper right corner is a search box, click it and type in "kb313" and the security update causing problems should be the only one left (KB3132372).
  • Click "KB3132372" and then click "uninstall."
  • Confirm uninstall and let it do its thing.
  • No need to restart computer!

What specifically did you do? I need full details. One user uninstalled what he thought was the correct security update only to find he'd uninstalled the wrong one.

I searched for windows updates, when i got to view the history of the updates, i search kb313 and i double clicked it to delete it, the i confirmed the deletion and it disappeared

Although you shouldn't have to reboot, have you tried rebooting since then? Also, I recommend making sure Flash for IE is up to date.

Yeah, that is what i feared. I can't do any reboot due to some important programs running. IE is also up to date btw
