Additional Information
I've tried multiple things already.
Deleting everything player profile related in my documents folder and in the folder where arma is installed. When i start up arma it recreates my old player profile file not a new one.
Did a complete nuke on everything arma related and a fresh install of the game
When i started up the game after the fresh install with no player profiles in my install folder it created my old player profile back.. This player profile name is different from my OS name which it should be named after a fresh install.
After a fresh install it should created C:\Users\user\Documents\Arma 3> profiles: This does not happen at all.
I've done and check most of the things on the error code it gives me none of these fix it.
Try changing the Memory Allocator you are using (default: "tbb4malloc_bi" - try "system" on Windows 7 and later) <-- did not work changing memory
Try joining another server, then rejoin the previous one. <- i can join servers fine play on them fine, it is only when i try to edit my player profile that it crashes.
Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs. <-- Temps are fine
Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam. <-- did this Multiple times doesn't find any corrupt files.
Re-install DirectX. <- done
Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version), restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function). <- done
Run a Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files. < Done
None of these worked. Im out of options tbh.

Okay i somehow fixed the issue by disabling the Controlled folder acces in windows defender.
However something feels quite wrong if that is the fix.

disabling the Controlled folder access
not sure what that is. But Arma crashed because it couldn't find your user profile path
What would normally be "C:\\Users\\Username\\My Documents" was actually "" which obviously isn't right.
I've fixed that specific crash in 2.06, but it still won't work if Arma cannot access your my documents directory.
The weird thing is, Arma has a check if it doesn't work and it will tell you.
But getting the path was successful, the path was just "" which makes no sense to me
