Animate CC Crash requires full restart [HELP]

I've been dealing with this problem for over a year now... I'm at my boiling point with this.

When compiling for simple testing from within Animate  [COMMAND+ENTER]... it usually is fine. Randomly though it will hang and then the Animate Simulator (not iOS simulator) stops responding.  If you force quit the simulator and try to compile again. It just opens another simulator in the not responding state. The only way I've found to get Animate to compile again is a full system restart. This is highly annoying as I have tons of other stuff on the go like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Surely there must be a process or something I can kill from the Activity Monitor to atleast let me restart everything for Animate CC.

Any ideas ?

Any help with this is appreciated.  Thanks!
