Cannot Publish the site

I am trying to publish the site and WWB freezes. I tried local (folder) and remote FTP. None works. I have to kill the program through task manager. I've had some issues with freezing some time ago doing other tasks.
Running WWB20/Win10Pro

Perhaps your virusscanner is scanning the generated files in the background which is causing a delay or your website is using large images or other files such as pdfs that need to be processed? Have you tried the likes of cuteftp or filezilla?

There are no known issues with publishing.
This is most likely a configuration issue.
For example, you may have enabled server backup, and if you have a large then it may take a long time before the project has been uploaded.
But, the software has thousands of options and millions of possible combinations, so you will need to be more specific about that you have done if you need help with this.

Thanks. I am working on several things, but will check for your suggestions and if the problem remains I will report back here. Last time this happened several times I rebooted PC and it worked. This time it did not, but will check few other possibilities.

I just changed settings to simply Publish to my NAS (which is a mapped drive on the LAN), and the project was published, but then WWB completely freezes. I have to kill it through the Task Manager. Tried to reboot, and repeat, but no change. I am basically not able to use the program now.
No, there are no backup running, no virus scanning (I do not use any third part AV), and no other extra programs running at the moment I tested it.
Pablo - I am not sure what other info would you like to have. I can offer whatever is needed.
When this happened right after installing version20 I uninstalled WWB completely and after rebooting and clearing the registry I installed it again and for some time it worked OK. I am running Win10-Pro/64, plenty of HS space and RAM. I've had these issues in the past but only with v20. Did not have this type of problems with all prior versions.
