Solution:

Found this solution from a closed bug report but figured I'll keep this up in-case it can help the developer resolve this issue once and for all.

Delete the folder "quick-picture-viewer.exe_Url_[random string]" located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Module_Art
I believe the app is trying to read some invalid settings from there, and crashing at launch.
