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!

Lummox JR	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.

Kid23	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

Lummox JR	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.

Dec 31 2015, 1:11 am
Kid23	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
