Hello there @murderwhatevr.sc!
Welcome to UE! For starters, if the crashes you are experiencing are affecting both UE and VS, the first step would be to make sure that the components for both installs have the correct version, which can be checked here:
As for the issue itself, we would need to check the detailed crash reports you are getting in your system, which can be found with the instructions below. Please share them in the thread.
Where To Find Local Crash Reports
Crash reports from the editor are stored on your local machine in your project’s
Saved/Crashesfolder.Alternatively, you can find crash reports on a user’s local machine in
C:\Users[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local[Project Name]\Saved\Crashes.
