A little update I guess:
Yes, MS released this update which caused the issue:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3132372
As mentioned in the article:
"We are aware of limited application crashes that occur after this security update is installed on Windows 10."
It has broken many things including Skype:

https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player...ase_notes.html claims this was fixed on 1st Jan but MS need to roll out the fix to Win 8 and 10. Presumably it takes them a few days to build a windows update patch and run it through their release procedure.
Any widget which has flash will cause this issue. For some reason YouTube is passing the flash version of their videos back to Xara which we're not sure why. mp3/4 widgets are flash which is why it is crashing when generating the preview. We will be pushing to have these use HTML5 as standard rather instead. Trying to embed Facebook videos will also result in a crash.
Thanks
