Dreamweaver CC 2017 continually crashing after update

Question

I've been using Dreamweaver CC 2017 for a couple weeks without any problems. After applying an update to Dreamweaver CC 2017, my Dreamweaver continually crashes after a few seconds of opening different documents. It just disappears and is followed by the standard Apple dialog box saying my app has crashed and asks if I want to restart, reopen, submit to Apple, etc. No other apps are running, and I don't have any add-ons installed. I've tried restarting, zapping the PRAM, removing peripherals, and nothing helps. Again, it was working fine until I applied an update today.

Here's my system:

Here's my version of Dreamweaver:

I have been waiting to upgrade from DW CS 6 but there are too many horror stories for DW 2017. From my perspective Dreamweaver has just gotten worse since they purchased it from Macromedia. This is actually very sad, I still use Dreamweaver 8.02 with the Kollection extension and it seems that Adobe is trying their utmost to under perform what dreamweaver use to be able to do.

The interface is awful now, developers are making it more Design only oriented and have basically thrown php out the door. Poor product management decisions because at one point they owed the php development market.

I wish they'd hire me I would get them back on track.
