My solidworks almost immediately crashes

I have solidworks on windows 10 and recently, at least it seems that after the most recent windows update that my copy of solid works is very unstable. Usually I only am able to press one button before windows tells me that it has stopped working. I think because I have a student version I haven't been able to login to the solidworks update section, which I initially thought was going to be my savoir.

Another not so important problem but a problem none the less has been that the scaling for my 4k resolution screen has been absolutely abysmal, and changing the settings usually only makes it worse. Buttons and text overlap each other. Even with both of these problems I have a fair amount of work that I finished before the instability that is important for my academic career and I really need to get the program working again!
