Shotcut crashing

Hi, best of success with Shotcut!

Enabling/disabling gpu acceleration in settings might help

Clearing out settings/registry might help as well - as it thankfully did in this case:

Shotcut hangs on File/New

I’m running Shotcut 18.03.06 on Windows 10. Today, after a couple of weeks of not being used, Shotcut hangs whenever I click on File/New. When it comes up, the Export menu is showing. I can close that and do some other operations, e.g. View/Application Log, but if I click File/New I get the Windows hourglass and “(Not Responding)” in the title bar. My CPU utilization increases from 7% to 25%. Any thoughts?
