Shotcut needs Task Manager to close it down

Hi

Apologies if categorization is wrong, will change it as per suggestions. Also first time posting although been using this software for past 2 years without any issue, appreciate all the work and time given to this, thank you. I did check other posts before posting but was not able to find anyone with this issue.

I had been working in older versions of Shotcut in my older laptop, been fine but slow due to my old age laptop, so I finally bought a new laptop Acer nitro v15 with 32 GB ram, RTX 4050 8 GB last month. I downloaded Shotcut version 25.05.11 which was the latest one last month and it was working and closing all fine.

When a new update came, I downloaded and installed it, and this issue started, the app works fine, but as soon as I try to close it regardless of a project open or with no project or any file, it freezes and after 10-15 seconds it goes in not responding mode. It does close on its own but after few minutes, so I had been closing it through task manager. I thought perhaps a new update will come and fix it but it seems all the updated versions I face the same issue.

So I checked all the downloaded installers for Shotcut in my Laptop, shotcut-win64-250511.exe the first installer I got in this new laptop is only one working fine for me [ the app closes normally] but newer versions such as shotcut-win64-250726.exe and shotcut-win64-250816.exe go on not responding.

I am not really sure where the fix lies, in my system or the app. Open to any suggestions, appreciate any help. Thank you
