That is RedGiant Universe fault. Google search is full of Red Giant crashing Resolve starting from version 10 till now. I had the same problem. It freezes and then after 10-15 minutes it quits.
Having said that, go to c:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX and move RedGiant Universe folder out to your Desktop. Start Resolve, then Enable OFXPlugins from Color Panel.
Quit Resolve then move 3-4 subfolders from RedGiant Universe on your Desktop to c:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\RedGiant Universe,
Start Resolve again and let it build OFXPluginCache.xml in the %programdata%, then Exit Resolve again. Keep repeating the process of moving 3-4 subfolder from RedGiant Universe to c:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\RedGiant Universe at a time and Restarting Resolve, going to Color panel and click on OFXPlugins tab. Then Exit Resolve. Keep repeating the process till you have moved all the subfolders from RedGiant Universe folder on your desktop to c:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\RedGiant Universe and have rebuilt the OFXPluginsCache.xml. Now Resolve should start without a hang or crash.
