This is so strange.

The issue must be something common between your VM and your Desktop given others are not seeing the crashes/hangs at all on similar Windows machines.

So can you use Parallels to save your Windows VM image, and then go through a complete uninstall of Trados Studio (and all its components and extensions) on your VM and reboot and try again. If it still exhibits the hang, then we can rule Trados out, and either way you can easily revert to your saved Parallels VM image to restore your setup to its previous state.

The reason is that Trados being a CAT (lang translation) tool that depends on language, may have added system extensions that listen for keyboard changes or define their own keyboard shortcuts.

Ruling it out means I can try with my local mac to match your exact setup (minus Trados) on a Parallels Windows 10 VM.
