Thank you @Ralph77 - this exclusion from the SP settings works! When I got in there, I realised that I had excluded Excel last year when I had problems with it; I had forgotten about that. I am grateful for your work - I would not have thought of this kind of problem. As I have over 14500 notes, lots of tags and links, I thought it would be me. I have indexed, rebuilt, optimised etc, but all to no avail - yet I didn't have the problem on my work computer. Now I understand why!! Again, thanks for your help and for posting the fix.

OK - this has been driving me nuts, and I fixed the freeze by exiting Sticky Password. Thank you! However, shutting down Sticky is a temporary fix, I want both to run. I am using the current version of EN (6.19.2.8555), but I've had this issue for quite some time over several updates. Did Sticky support give you a way to fix it? I think I saw a reference to tweaking something - any help appreciated.
