Microsoft Word crashes whenever I try to open my macros

I'm using version 2402 of the Beta Channel version of Word. Ever since the most recent Windows update I am unable to open my macros. When I click View - Macros, Word instantly crashes. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix?

    I had the same problem with Outlook on 2401. It took me several days, but I discovered that when I removed stdole2.tlb from my references, the problem went away for me. The hard part was figuring out how to remove the tlb since I could open VBA. The trick was to go to the trust center and disable all macros. Once I did that, I could open VBA and edit my code and settings to remove stdOle2.tlb.
