New Version buggy in Windows 10

The newest version of Thunderbird was installed on my desktop (Windows 10) and laptop (Windows 11) In Windows 10 it appears to be extremely buggy. 1. Freezes if not used after about 15 minutes. Have to CTRL ALT DEL to stop and restart. 2. Leading up to that downloading messages seems to slow to a crawl. 3. Filters to message folders seem to work sometimes and not others 4. If I close Thunderbird with CTRL ALT DEL and leave it closed I get a popup message after about five minutes saying Access to X mail server timed out

None of these problems have occurred on my Windows 11 laptop
