Updated to Windows 8.1, now Unity 5 editor crashes every time it opens

Unity keeps crashing on me whenever I open existing projects or create new ones. Also, old builds crash. I keep getting the error 'Read from location 00000008 caused an access violation.' Or 'Read from location 00000004 caused an access violation.' when I try to run builds.

Things I've tried:

Uninstall/Reinstall Unity Updating graphics driver Run in d3d11 mode Searching for corrupted fonts (not sure if I did this one correctly, I copied fonts folder, deleted as many fonts as I could. At this point Unity still would not open, so I put the fonts back in.)

Anyone have any ideas what else I can do or in a similar situation?
