Calibre UI "hangs"/unresponsive while/after updating library

Currently on Calibre 7.24 on Windows.
Not entirely sure what the issue is, but I have had this issue sporadically for a while across multiple Calibre and FFF versions(since Calibre 5.x?).

After clicking "Yes" to the "FFF download complete / Proceed with updating your library?" dialog, the "Updated X/X" dialog will appear and progress, but sometimes the entire Calibre UI will become unresponsive - to the point of force quitting app - even after waiting for an hour.
When Calibre loads again, the library/database updates are actually complete.
I run a database check, and no issues found.
I have tried running Calibre with debug and nothing jumped out.

But... I think I found a "workaround" to avoid it - which may also point to the actual issue?
After clicking the "Yes" / update library dialog for FFF...
*DO NOT CLICK ON ANY CALIBRE UI WINDOW!*
... until progress dialog window completes. Do not minimize it, restore it or anything... It seems it may be related to the progress dialog window and main UI window getting "stuck" somehow?
