VW2018 SP6 Suddenly Unusable

[Steve Clarkson]

I'm having Not Responding constantly this morning.  Completely out of the blue, on a project I was working on with no issues on Friday.  I don't even know how this is possible.  

After my THIRD computer restart, I re-opened the project, changed some layer visibilities, and drew a single 2D line, and the app froze again.

 

I'm waiting to see this time if it actually does sort itself out.  Going on 10 minutes now.

Then:

I reopened VW and the project.  I manage to get between 2-5 actions in before it freezes.  I've started saving after every action.

 

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

 

Thanks,
