I'm new to FrameMaker, so I might be doing something wrong.
Rather consistintly, any time I try deleting / adding / changing more than a page or two of text at a time, FrameMaker hangs, and usually crashes. (Other times I just let it continue trying overnight, and then kill the process). Sometimes I can go as long as 2-3 days without it crashing.
Importing a document from MS Word into FrameMaker took 5-6 attempts till it was stable for long enough to actually convert the entire document before crashing, giving me a chance to save.
Similar posts on crashes didn't seem to have resolutions on them.
OS: Windows 10 (Corporate IT managed for updates)

You don't have the latest version, which is 15.0.4.751. Try updating it and see if that helps.

Hi,
Please update Framemaker 2019 to update 4 from "Help>Updates" and then check the issue.
Alternatively, you may download update 4 from this link https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows .
Regards,
Deep

Along with updating, I find that renaming (or deleting) the prefs folder in your Roaming directory often resolves random crashes. https://techcomm.tools/fm-prefs

Along with updating to the latest version of Frame, I suggest saving your file as a .MIF. Then close and reopen the MIF and save it again as a FrameMaker file.
Sometimes the MIF conversion cleans up file corruptions.
