Freezes on opening at mt fuji

I have version 1.10.8.0. It has been running extremely well for weeks. Today I started and got opening title screens then mt Fuji where it stayed. Task manager shows about 20% memory use and a small cpu use. Is the update doing something in the background? I haven’t gotten to the checking for updates screen.

I eventually rebooted which led to windows update so I waited till today and it was slow getting by mt Fuji but it got to update and all is well. Thank you
