Sourcetree freezes on Windows

Question

I have a new bitbucket project but when I download the files Sourcetree freezes and goes non-responsive for 30 minutes or more.  None of the other projects in Sourcetree cause this issue.  If I can eventually get off the new project tab, then the app appears to work fine.  But if I tab back to it then Sourcetree freezes for 5 to 10 minutes before it'll show that tab again.

I have deleted the project and tried again but the results are the same.  I've even removed it from bitbucket and started over but the results are always the same.  Once it downloads the files the freezing starts.

I have the problem on Windows 7 laptop. Just updated the SourceTree to 2.1.2.4. It freezes and I cant even close it. I do not have problems like this with other applications.

No problems on a Windows 7 laptop ,  but on Windows 8 sometimes sourcetree commit/push box would hang a bit and i would close and re-open .   However on my main Windows 10 desktop - that is the big issue  SourceTree locks up the entire computer to the point of not being able to use SourceTree or ANY application and the memory leak is just insane

Yea, still having huge problems with this one after my reinstall.  But only with the same project directory.  None of the others are affected.
