Frequently Not Responding

I find that when I am using tracking or stabilizing, the process stops responding. It doesn't crash per se, I made a real short clip and did the same thing I thought crashed it, and it finished. But Windows Task Manager said Not Responding. Just doubled my RAM and did actually use some of that expansion.

I have been hesitant to update windows to the latest feature upgrade, but with the relatively low reports of similar issues I am wondering if the Windows version has something to do with this?
