Scribus not responding

I have suddenly had significant issues with Scribus having used the programme for several years. I am using version 1.6.2 and trying to work on a new document but I have been unable to progress at all. The initial page installs but if I click on OK then the programme does not respond and refuses to go further. I have tried many times!
I tried to install 1.6.4 but that was not much better. In this version of the programme I got as far as inserting a shape to give a background colour to my work when the programme would not respond.
I have gone back to an old file and tried to change that and it seems a bit more responsive but I would prefer to start from fresh - undoing takes a long time and should be unnecessary. Unless, of course, Scribus no longer allows new documents! It would also be nice to think that I could upgrade to 1.6.4 but clearly that version does not work on my computer.
I am using Windows 11. Can anyone help? How do I get Scribus to respond with a new document?
Thanks

Hi Kleo

which version were you using before 1.6.2?

how many pages are in your documents?
are there long chains of text?
lot of images?

would you mind uploading one of the affected .sla files somewhere and share the link for the download in this forum or in private messages?
