It does look like something in dwrite or qt5 is having an issue. While you wait for someone more familiar with the deep nuts and bolts, there IS a quick fix to get you going again, but it will remove all of your Profile data (settings, but not scenes):

With OBS *NOT* running, press WIN+R, type in %appdata%\obs-studio\basic and hit enter. Rename the Profiles directory to something else. Then start OBS, and you should be able to access Settings again.

If it still crashes, do the above again and rename the Scenes directory (you will lose all of your scenes at this point). This would indicate the problem being with your global audio source device(s).

If it STILL crashes, press WIN+R, type in %APPDATA% and hit enter. Rename the obs-studio directory to something else. This will reset OBS to 'square zero' (aside from any plugins you have installed).
