TWS crashing/quitting

Has anyone else had some problems with TWS this week? The "July 25" version seems to be freezing up on me. Yesterday on my Mac it froze up I think 4 times during the trading day, and today I tried on Windows, and it has already frozen once on me. (The specific windows version today I'm using is Build 957.3b July 25 2016).

When it freezes, nothing inside of TWS updates, and it does not respond to any of my clicks. However, I did have one order fill while it was in this "frozen" state, and I did hear the audio sound on my computer for the fill. (I knew the fill happened because my phone received the email alert of the fill.) I end up having to kill TWS and restart it.

I've never had any problems with TWS before this... I wonder if there is wonky with any of my positions that is confusing the gui ...

Bump a thread from 13 YEARS AGO? Pretty easy decision. Thanks for wasting my time while trying to figure out WTF was going on.
 
Yeah, I was fine on versions prior to the July 25th drop.

Don't like it? Fine. The ignore button is easy enough to find on peoples profiles. In fact, I'm using it right now.

Ahh yes, I switched it to "Stable" and now things seem solid so far. Thanks.
(FWIW, I did try "Latest" again today during premarket, and they had an update for July 27th.. but it was crashing even more. I guess the IB engineers have some bugs to work out!)

What about your hardware? Ie. age, size of memory, CPU speed, Internet speed, and whether HD or SSD and size and the free space etc...

Not likely the problem. My windows machine is an i7 with 24GB ram, SSD HD with plenty of free space. Plus the crashes are also happening on my Macbook too. 75Mbit connection from Comcast (yuck) but speed tests at testmy.net all check out fine, and no packet loss detected.

Update

Recently experienced issues with "Stable version TWS and MultiCharts"

Data not loading initially, took 30+ minutes to load or refresh upon initial start of day.
(not pacing error)

Workaround required computer reboot, then start TWS/MC...

MC tech stated I needed to switch from stable version to most recent "current" version...
(I honestly believe this was a boilerplate recommendation, but in this instance cleared up the issue)

Personally, I prefer to stay with stable version, but also need charts, so updated TWS begrudgingly.

Just an FYI for MC users,
