TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by resetting the configuration or checking for any pending changes before exiting the config menu.

Guidance

  • Verify that there are no pending changes or unsaved settings when exiting the config menu, as this might cause the freeze.
  • Try resetting the configuration to its default state before making any changes to see if the issue persists.
  • Check if there are any specific settings that, when changed, cause the freeze, to help narrow down the potential cause.
  • If the issue is reproducible, try to capture any error messages or logs that might appear during the freeze, even if the provided log section is empty.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, so focusing on the steps to reproduce and the config change process might provide more insight.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information, a workaround such as resetting the configuration or carefully managing changes within the config menu seems like the most viable immediate solution, as it does not require waiting for a potential fix or upgrade.
