Starting today, AutoCAD LT started crashing unexpectedly causing me to loose a bunch of work. What's going on? I've sent a bunch of reports but this is riddiculous.

Anytime you do something worth saving, run the QSAVE command. You won't lose any work this way.
Unless the QSAVE command itself is causing the crash of course.
Its AutoCAD LT 2020 running on Windows 10 that has taken in all the recent updates.
Nothing changed. It was fine in the morning - on for a couple of hours then the computer was off for one hour then this happened. AutoCAD crashes after about 10 min of work.
Whether you realize it or not, something changed. Could be the data files you are working on, Windows updates, some other application replaced a DLL, etc., etc. Do you have, or can you create a separate Windows user account on this PC? If so, switch to it and repeat your actions under this other user account. Do the issues go away?
I did as you suggested and started AutoCAD in a new user account - it went through the motions of first run, doing its setup and such. I worked on the same file for a bit and it didn't crash. I admit I'm a little impatient and didn't want to wait too long - but if this is the case that its something in my account than what should I do?
We have over 500 users and I see this happening about once a week. To solve, we reset the user's settings, which is essentially what you have accomplished (as a test) by using a different Windows login.
