EVEMON causing task bar/start menu/notifications to freeze (Windows 10)

[init-000]

EVEMON is causing issues for me on Windows 10:

when I start EVEMON (either by hand or via auto-start) then initially it works properly. However, as soon as all characters are loaded (after about ~10 seconds) and ANY kind of notification should be displayed (such as character with less then 24h training queue, account going to expire soon etc.) then my task bar, start menu and Windows 10 notification windows all freeze and become completely unresponsive (can't open start menu any more, can't open programs from quick bar, mousing over an element doesn't highlight it etc.). In all other regards the system is still running fine - it's really just the task bar/start menu/notifications that are frozen.

After about 3-4 minutes of waiting the problem fixes itself and EVEMON notifications suddenly all appear at the same time in the lower right corner (and in notification window) and the taskbar unfreezes and works again. This issue only occurs the first time notifications from EVEMON are displayed (after that it works until you quit and restart EVEMON - then the problem occurs again).

EVEMON is the only application that is causing this issue for me (other applications that produce notifications are working normally). Any ideas what could be causing this?

It's not super critical since everything works in the end - it's just a bit of a pain to have to wait 3-4 minutes for the first notifications to appear and the problem to fix itself.

Feel free to contact me for further details.

Thx in advance and thx for all the hard work!
