There’s a little bug going around at the moment which causes the editor to crash on using Sculpt Tools, in my experience more the subtractive ones.

The editor hanging though can sometimes be the result of not enough virtual memory, check your windows virtual memory is at least 64GB and put it on a seperate HD to the OS if possible.
