I changed the Graphics renderer from OpenGL to DirectX and that fixed the K4A 4.16 app from crashing in my case.

Thanks for the tip, was finally able to get this working on my main PC.

This was a great help in general btw.
A few things from other posts in this thread I'd throw in for anyone else following the pdf guide.
- Yes even if you plan on using 8.51 you need to install 4.16 first to get a working backup.ab file. 8.51 will give you a non-functional backup.
- Make sure you directly install 8.51 on top of 4.16 after extracting your backup file (or on a clone of the 4.16 instance). Do not use a fresh Bluestacks instance.
- You can open a command prompt at your current folder's location by typing cmd and pressing enter in the file explorer's address bar.
- Disable app auto update in Google Play settings.
- You can disable advertisements in BlueStacks 5 in the Preferences tab of the settings menu.
- When youre ready to use the android SDK tools via command line, before using adb backup use adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555 but replace the numbers with those shown in your own BlueStacks instance. (Settings > Advanced > Android Debug Bridge)
