I tried reinstalling, and it still crashes. It doesn't seem to happen to PDF files though which loads correctly, and the thumbnails are still appearing for cbr and cbz files.

I managed to reproduce this on 10547 and did a very brief debug session. This is a very interesting bug as:
- it doesn't happen on other Win 10 builds (I was using Threshold 2 10536 which works fine, and all production builds work fine)
- it crashes inside libarchive, which is an open source library that we use to load rar and zips (that's why pdfs still work its a different library)

So it would be very interesting to see why libarchive behaves this way specifically on 10547, perhaps some base Windows library changed. I'll do a more in depth analysis later this week after I fix my main workstation (hardware failure Sad). Thanks for the report!
