So STB was working fine last night, I have booted the PC up this morning to this crash report.

Yes, I know all about this one.  Welcome to the wonderful world of Windows .net corrupting it's own files for reasons unknown.  All you need to do is delete the file mentioned in the error message:

C:\Users\conno\AppData\Local\FlyingWSimulation\TrafficBoardFrontEnd.exe_Url_w0yixu2kwawdhvlzenm1gewk313gms3o\4.2.2018.13500\user.config
