I am having tons of issues with sourcetree (on win 11) all of a sudden. Many actions like checkout, rename branch, merge, commit, etc. and sometimes even refreshing cause sourcetree to freeze and become unresponsive. Subsequently explorer also crashes.

I can’t end the task in task manager, I have to restart the machine

About the repo:

• It is a obsidian.md-vault.
• It uses lfs
• I used a vault plugin that makes automated vault backups via git (only when something in the vault changes, commits are between 5 minutes and several hours apart)
• I currently have 83 commits

I had to retroactively initialize lfs, so I created a new branch at the first commit, initialized lfs and then merged the main branch into it. I used git rm -r -cached . (and subsequent commands), but did not migrate, since the commits weren’t that big.
I then renamed the branches on github so that the new branch is named main (and was about to copy those changes to local, but it keeps crashing) [main>pre-lfs, post-lfs>main]

=========

• I disabled “Refresh automatically when files change”.
• I disabled spellcheck
• Reinstalled win credential manager (the newer one), removed and readded all credentials

I am not too knowledgeable about git, I am teaching myself through hobby projects. What I am noticing is that at what point it freezes is inconsistent, but it seems to only happen when I do an action.

I assume the repo isn’t too big and sub 100 commits doesn’t sound like much. I am at a loss at what to do.
