7+tt terminates once in a while for unknown reason

I really don't know where to look here and how to narrow the field of search..

I can't find anything regarding terminations in Event Viewer. It just started to shut down several days ago. 

I just may assume 7+tt terminates because of injection to explorer.exe it does (is it?). It terminates together with "process hacker" application which I extensively use too.

My work became really uncomfortable, I almost don't wanna use my PC now without those these two apps.

I've disabled antivirus and other protection features of windows, but nothing changed.

Apps just shut down every 10-20 minutes saying nothing.. 

May be you can recommend something to diagnose this behavior? 

For now, I'll just try to clarify weather time periods it happens are arbitrary or concrete, I've ran out of ideas for now..

Please see my comment here, which mentions a guide on troubleshooting killed programs:

ok, after several hours of research renegade was identified. it was some obscure chrome update buried deep down in task scheduler that was trying to install XPS-viewer (xps viewer installer was the one that was terminating apps).. omg it's so ducked up.. 

the only effect was: every 20 minutes to terminate 7+TT and ProcessHacker..

What does an XPS-viewer have to do with Chrome? Is it a part of an extension?

In any case, I'm glad that you found the source of the problem. Perhaps your finding will help other people that experience a similar problem.
