I would mention also, after making this change we no longer see crashes when switching directly to other company files by using File > Open Previous Company, however we still see crashes when we have to close/log off the company file and open one using the file browser (when is indicates No Company Open). 

It does seem a lot more sporadic when compared to before (previously, it was crash every time for us) - not exactly sure what is causing it to crash the other programs when QB is logging off and going to the main No Company Open screen.
