Editor was totally frozen, anything I can do to prevent it in the future? (SOLVED)

I hope I put this in the right topic!
I just downloaded Defold today to give it a try, and while working through the tutorials, it unexpectedly froze up. Specifically I was almost done with the walking astronaut tutorial, and the freeze hit when I went to click Project so I could build and run the game. (Technically, I was clicking File, since I have a habit of accidentally clicking that first.) The “not responding” window said that OpenJDK Platform wasn’t responding, as opposed to just Defold. I let it sit for about an hour before closing it just in case it would start working again. After closing and restarting, it seems to be working fine again.
I’m using Defold 1.2.166 on Windows 7 Professional with an Intel i3 CPU and 4GB RAM. It’s a pretty old laptop, so I’m used to things just not working, but I really like Defold so far and I would really appreciate any advice to avoid future freezes so I don’t lose any work!
Also, I’m really new to this forum, so please let me know if I should do anything differently as far as posting a thread like this.

Welcome!

If it happens again please share the log from the editor as that might give us a clue. On Windows you find the log here:

C:\Users\ Your Username \AppData\Local\Defold

I will keep all that in mind. Thank you so much!
