Photoshop randomly freezes when using the Polygon lasso tool and auto recover isn't working

As the title says, my photoshop version CC 2018 sometimes just randomly decides to freeze up when I use the polygon lasso tool, and I'm forced to shut Photoshop down completely with the task manager. The Auto Recover feature doesn't work either, even though I have it enabled every 10 minutes in preferences. I've lost hours on hours of work simply due to this little bug that just pops up once in a while. Sometimes the polygon lasso tool works, and sometimes it doesn't.
