All browsers keep crashing shortly after opening

I'm on windows 10 and have been facing this issue for around a week now. I had three browsers on my device when this issue started, those being edge, chrome and opera gx. at first Opera which I use most of the time began to crash 15-20 seconds after opening. this issue would only end when I'd restart my laptop a couple of times. I resorted to using chrome but now chrome is having the same issue alongside edge too.

I've tried:

-restarting my pc

-reinstalling my browsers

-using command center to check for corrupted files

-creating a new user

-reinstalling my windows

as far as I know all three of the browsers I had were chromium based so I want to try and download a browser that isnt but even that requires me using a browser of some sort.

    i am also in the same exact scenario except ive been using firefox, waterfox, edge, and now brave and every single browser of mine isnt working with. twitch is constantly crashing, youtube has weird artifacting, and browsing the web is crashing the browsers tabs also

    i disabled all of my plugins still nothing
    i turned off hardware accel still nothing
    i disabled and removed adblockers still nothing
    i did a sfc /scannow and it found nothing
    updated my drivers with nothing
    reset the computer nothing
    unplugged and repluged in pc nothing
    scanned with malwarebytes and nothing
    did a microsoft defender scan and nothing
    looked at my task manager and nothing seemed off or odd

    i am unsure what is going on and how to really fix it
