Cross "Hangs" when Changing between Library & Playlists

Hi All,
Been a bit since I have posted to the forum, so excuse me in advance if this has already been mentioned.
I'm having an issue where when I switch between a playlist and my library, Cross "Hangs" for 5-10 seconds and then comes back.
The ONLY thing that doesn't stop is audio output - everything else - the Interface, Video Output, Waveforms, etc - all lock up and Windows behaves as the software is "Not Responding" (right down to the white-ish overlay and "Not Responding" showing up in the title bar in the top left) After some time has passed, the screen flashes back, and everything resumes as normal.
It happens intermittently, and I can't seen to track down the issue, as nothing has changed in my system.
I primarily use Videos now, but my laptop is a powerhouse (see specs) and sometimes it's a non issue. My machine has an SSD for the OS, and all the Videos are on the second INTERNAL HDD, so I know its not a USB issue, etc. All my drivers are current.
The only thing I can seem to relate it to is Windows Updates, but that doesn't make sense to me, as again, it happens randomly. Sometimes it even clears up mid set (i.e. at the beginning it "hangs" when switching, and by the end of a 5 hour set, it's no longer doing it)
Has anyone experienced an issue like this?
Thanks in Advance!
