I get the "not responding" issue quite frequently, and it has been happening for many releases. I've never had to reboot the machine, though. I've also not had to kill Lightroom, and restart it, either. It always works out, though it is annoying how long it can take. Though my computer more than meets the minimum requirements for LR and PS, it does not exceed them by very much. I think the "not responding" issue is probably a combination of not enough memory and that ridiculous pre-fetching, by Windows 10. This is where the OS tries to anticipate your actions, and pre-fetches resources for programs you may have no intention of running. There is no official way of turning this off, but there are hacks.
The situation is so bad, with Windows 10, that the Task Manager often will not come up in any quick manner, and the Task Manager often is a victim of the "not responding" issue. The Task Manager? Come on!
Someone mentioned issues with the last autoupdate of Windows 10. For at least the last three, scheduled updates, I have received several, little fixes to the updates. Several, not one. If MS expects me to continue doing their QA for them, they ought to put me on retainer.

I may have resolved the issue. After going the route of CC, I had never uninstalled my LR 6.x. I did uninstall the earlier stand-alone version the other day and I have not had a "responding" issue since. I have tried to replicate the issue with the usual preliminary causes (minimizing the LR window; computer going into standby; not using LR for an hour or so) and so far LR always comes back into action fully operational. I have fingers crossed.
Now if I can resolve the newest issue of LR wanting to configure my LR/Instagram plug-in every time I start LR, I will be a happy camper. In the words of Rosanna Rosannadanna ... "It's always something!"
