This issue has been occurring ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit from Windows 7 (64-bit). When running on Windows 7, Reaper was fine no crashes and no issues. Since upgrading to Windows 10 I regularly have crashes from Reaper.exe.
I am also running focusrite 2i2 3nd gen.
I have reinstalled Reaper, and since that has been occurring, there has been an upgraded version of Reaper (5.75) which I have also installed. But unfortunately, it is still crashing. It seems to occur at random, but it's rare that I can get through a single recording session without a crash - so it's basically making the entire system unusable.
I write software for a day job, and in my business this would be categorised as a P1 error - the highest possible classification of a bug.
Something of interest is that the exception code is c0000005, and almost any error five is usually a permissions issue. I'm going to try running it with admin permissions and see if that makes any difference.

I am going to try recording with no plugins/fx... watch this space....
<< 30 mins, and one OS freeze later>>
I think it might be the BIAS amp plugin. I played a track for 25 mins with no plugins running, then switched the BIAS amp plugin on. Within a couple of minutes the entire OS froze.
interesting post - it seems that the BIAS plugin is a bit flaky on Win10:
