Animate runs after a few tries and when it does, halts at 80% when publishing to HTML5/Canvas

I have been using Animate for a year now, and when I recently switched companies, I installed Adobe CC on my newly assigned laptop and found the apps working well except for Animate. It hangs every time I run it. I have to shut down the app using the task manager and run it again. When it runs after a few tries, it will freeze at 80% during publishing to HTML5. The funny thing is, it got published the first time but would not publish again. I could make it run if I converted it to Actionscript but that would mean publishing to video only, and I need the output in HTML5 so I could add interactions.

I tried installing older versions of Animate but the results were the same. My laptop is a Dell Precision with i7/32G/SSD1T and NVIDIA Quadro P1000 graphics. 

Kindly help.
