That's not a proper fix. That's a workaround. The issue is with Windows and not GM. Microsoft pushed an update on the 30th of December which causes this issue.
The actual fix is uninstalling the latest Security update from Microsoft that crashes Gamemaker and some versions of Skype as well. It's Security Update code KB3132372.
