I almost always use ShareLaTeX for my LaTeX needs, but I recently began work on a relatively large document, and so I figured I would give a local TeX distribution a try to see if I could speed up the compile times. I thus decided to download MikTeX 2.9.5997 64-bit for Windows and used TeXstudio as my front end. I then simply copy and pasted my project into TeXstudio, expecting it to run, but instead I found a plethora of errors.
I tried downloading TeX Live instead, as well as TeXmaker, and tried all four combinations (both front-ends with both distributions), and in all cases, I found the same exact errors.
I then proceeded to simply cut-down my file to try to isolate the problem. What follows is the resulting MWE.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\newtheorem{thm}[equation]{Theorem}
\begin{document}
\begin{thm}
This is my theorem.
\end{thm}
\end{document}
This throws about 6 errors, the first being "No counter 't' defined", the second being "Missing number treated as 0", and the remaining being "perhaps a missing \item", all of which are thrown on the \begin{thm} line except the last error which is thrown on the \end{thm} line. Furthermore, (I) this document compiles fine in ShareLaTeX, and (II) if you remove any of
\usepackage{hyperref},\usepackage{cleveref}, or[equation]in the\newtheoremline,it will likewise compile just fine.
What on earth could be causing such an error?
UPDATE 1: It also complies fine if you remove \usepackage{amsthm}. I also confirmed that the problem still occurs if you use a different counter.
UPDATE 2: I confirmed that this does compile correctly with TeX Live 2015. After checking the respective CTAN pages, it seems as if the only package being used here which has been updated since 2015 is hyperref. I suppose this means that a bug must have been introduced into the hyperref package?

[equation]? Normally a counter in this position is for a shared counter. Equations and theorems sharing the same counter seems strange. That said, it compiles ifcleverefis loaded after\newtheorem….cleverefis loaded after\newtheoremis a bit odd--- the documentation explicitly says to loadcleverefbefore all\newtheoremss. I'm guessing, while it may compile, you would lose theclevereffunctionality?cleverefat the end, and it will compile fine. But in this case, cleveref will be of no use: it is supposed to know (and print) which type of structure a given counter is associated?. How do you want it to find its way if the same counter can correspond to an equation as well as a theorem or a corollary?
