If it runs in safe mode, the reasons for the crash in normal mode are usually either incompatible add-ons, broken layout, or incorrect hardware acceleration setting. At the safe mode prompt, disable all add-ons, then make changes and restart. If that doesn't help, launch again in safe mode, reset toolbars and controls, make changes and restart. The hardware setting is in Options/General/Indexing.

I've already tested this, it works only if i use Continue in Safe Mode, it crashes if i use any other option. Also disabling the hardware acceleration don't fix the crash.

The crash reports point to a well-known source of problems, Athena Smartcards. Avast is another common cause of issues, which should be removed if you're using Windows Defender.

Disinstalling Avast is not a problem, the Athena Smatcard is still used, i don't know if i can uninstall it.

If you wish to retain the smartcard, it might be necessary to update the drivers, or try the solution offered here:
