Alright this registry file is going to delete the key causing the problem associated with the event viewer. After Restarting you computer it should regenerate the key automatically. If it doesn't, or we still can't access the event viewer we'll try some other solutions to repair the snap in. Follow the steps below. If one of the steps doesn't make sense let me know and I'll clarify.
1. Create a system restore point. This is in case things go bad, which they shouldn't, but caution never hurts. Open a file explorer and paste the following: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System then on the left hand side you should see something that says "System Protection. Click it and a new window will appear, in the bottom right corner of this new window you will see a button that says "Create" click it. Then give it a brief name, doesn't matter what it is. Afterwards click Create.
2. Download the Reg File, I've included the link, click it and it will open up a web page. Click Download and you should receive a file called "EventViewerRefresh.reg" double click this file and run it, then will ask you if you trust the source select yes and it will make the changes to the registry.
3. Restart your computer, full shutdown.
4. Check the Event Viewer if this fixed your problem we will be able to start seeing why Terraria is crashing. You may need to reproduce the crash at this point to start seeing it in the event viewer. If you still can't access the Event Viewer come back and let me know and we'll try something else.

@Element-118 There's something I found relevant to your crashing in the solar eclipse... it might work. They were able to stop the crashes by turning off the Steam Cloud feature with Terraria both characters and worlds if you need to know how to do that let me know, then check to see if it fixed your crashes.
If this doesn't work then our best bet is still the event viewer.
