Engine Prime software hanging

When I open Engine Prime, quite often it won’t open fully and properly. The rotating clock of death spins and never stops until I restart and even then it doesn’t solve the issue. Even when I think everything is ok and there is no spinning, when I click on my collection or on a device, the spinning starts again. It’s very frustrating because I’ll spend hours trying to figure it out when I could have been adding tracks. I’ll even try various ways of starting up…without a connected external drive or SD card…with and external drive already connected when I boot up…with and external drive and SD card already connected when I boot up…still doesn’t matter.
Any thoughts on a fix? I’m running MacOS Catalina on my iMac.
