Most likely it is the result of a corrupt font or fonts. If you want to track it down, you have to isolate the font – which may be a non-issue since you have deleted fonts and PS is apparently working as expected.
But if you were to isolate the font, one way to do this would be to use the method of halves in which you find the fonts folder and disable/move one half of the fonts, test and see if PS exhibits the behavior. If it’s not in the half left, it’s in the half you removed. Add back half, rinse and repeat.

Where should I move it to? And how do I?
Move them out of the windows font folder to a temporary location. Do this with PS closed. It doesn’t matter where you move them to as long as you remember where you put them, and then selectively put them back.
….or, since you have apparently cured the problem, you can skip the first part (removing fonts) and just add back fonts you need, one by one, until the problem recurs. Then you will know the cause.
I would wait a bit, until you are sure the system is stable as it is though.

Ive tried that, an error comes up when I try to move all of my fonts back

That way you will find out which one is causing the problem!
If there is more than 20, bring back half. It the problem comes back, remove them, then only bring in a quarter. Once you are down to reasonable numbers, then you can bring them in as singles to find the bad one(s).
There is a lesson here. Be careful about what fonts you put on your system … you don’t know where they have been!
