My friend who has a windows 8 (not 8.1) laptop had the same issue when trying to play skyrim. I just reset his OS, immediately updated to 8.1 and the issue was seemingly resolved.
Shortly after this, I stumbled upon another friend who had the same problem but he had 8.1 (but let me tell you his laptop was cluttered with garbage/adware also)
I ran Malwarebytes, then CCleaner, then I went into services and disabled the
windows error reporting service completely. Issue solved.
The cause? I have no idea, but it's definitely not Blockland related
Microsoft ftw
