Description

I have a version installed on a colleague's computer (Windows 7, 64 bit) where I can trigger a crash with almost any action, including just clicking on Check QGIS version that is the error report below

This machine formerly had QGIS 2 on it but I completely uninstalled, removed folders, and removed entries in registry (have done this multiple times but still incredibly unstable). Several of our users have the same issue with Windows 7 computers that formerly had QGIS 2 installed and formerly working.

I am hoping there is something in the crash report that would help

Try a regsitry cleanup for all QGIS entries, also on QGIS 3 use a new/clean profile.

that is what I thought would work as well and tried those steps at least twice with no luck. That is I followed the steps below in addition to telling QGIS 3 that I wanted a clean start
