Unreal engine crashing frequently after Norton Antivirus uninstall

I uninstalled Norton antivirus today and now every other minute or so my projects crash. I uninstalled and reinstalled Unreal engine but that did not fix the problem. I tried different projects and they are all crashing, even made a new project. Anyone experienced this before?
Could it be due to windows defender taking over the security?
