Ever since installing release 52.1.1 (32-bit) about 10 days ago the app simply freezes up (no response to clicking anywhere on the display) 2 or 3 times a day. The only remedy seems to use the task manager to kill the app and restart it. I have used previous releases for several years without ever seeing the same problem, and have not installed any other programs during the past month. I am running Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 3520 with 6GB of installed memory.
