Hotfix: SQL Server Management Studio and Server Manager crashing
From the archive (2015). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.
Had an interesting issue with a client on a fresh install today. SQL Server Management Studio would crash as soon as you tried to open a new query window or open a saved query. Also if you tried to view the local server in Server Manager it was crash as well.
After some searching, I came across the following KB which fixed both my issues. This occurred on 2 separate servers that were fresh installs.

The issue apparently has to do with the winspool.drv
