Same here. I tried everything suggested. I only need to hover my mouse over any part of the Effects Panel and it crashes, but only after a short pause. My temporary workaround is to open the Effects Panel when needed, quickly locate the effect, apply it, and close the panel. If it doesn’t crash, save the project. Not ideal, but desperate times = desperate measures. Hope a fix comes soon.
