Digital Editions 4 "not responding" when loading library books into program Windows 10

Question

Doing pretty much any action will work for a few seconds then freeze and not respond, and I'll have to shut down the program. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've used 4.5.2 as well as digital editions 3 with the same problem, so I think its a windows problem.

I've also tried enabling the app through the firewall settings.

After closing the app there appears to be a copy of the borrowed book in the library, but I am unable to copy it to my ereader (kobo) without it not responding and freezing.
