@ZacoAttaco @Netivity Update: I found the problem... sorta. When I crash, the error is a DNS error (1014) in Event Viewer. Any ideas? Windows has a support page for it but it doesn't have Windows 10 listed as one of the systems it affects. Could just be old, but...

Great find. Have you tried the fixes on that page? Even though it doesn't say Windows 10, when I look up that error and 'Windows 10' I'm brought back to that page. Looks like this is probably the issue though.

I'm going to try 2 and 4. I don't really want to mess with the Windows registry if I don't have to. Usually after changing things it can take up to 2 hours to run into the problem, so I'll get back to you in a bit.

Yeah try that and understandable, registry is pretty dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (I try and stay away usually and definitely backup the REG file). Let us know

Okay so I changed my wifi thingy from ac to n, haven't crashed for 4 hours. Hoping...

Have you set a custom DNS, or has your Anti-virus a built in VPN?

 

Check for those and disable them, just put the custom DNS  to auto see if that works.

I've uninstalled the antivirus completely. I have my DNS set to Google Public DNS. I still haven't run into it yet. I think I'm going to give it one more day.

@ZacoAttaco @Netivity Problem seems to be resolved by switching wifi from ac to n. Don't know why it worked, but it did.

Weird solution, but glad to hear it worked!
