Yesterday I decided to try running Task Manager and ending any processes that I thought 'might' be interfering with my Calibre software. It worked and I was able to successfully edit metadata on several books with no crashes. I didn't reboot or anything -- and being somewhat challenged with this stuff, wasn't really sure what I was doing lol.
Then I decided to come here to see if there were any others experiencing my problem and to search for perhaps a more permanent solution. Adding and converting books has always worked just fine -- it was only the editing part that caused me headaches, but I can live with working with Calibre in 'safe mode' or using Task Manager prior to starting up Calibre.

A very tiny number of people have your kind of edit problem, making it almost unique to your configuration.
BTW have you just tried
waiting out the Not Responding message?
I see this all the time on my clunky, old system. It (the hardware) is just too busy at the moment, and the message clears and all is good
