On the download page it says:
FontCreator runs on Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7
So, it should install OK. Antivirus sometimes blocks installation programs.

I can give you access to FontCreator 15 beta, as that might have some stability fixes.

I don't have a clue, as you provided so little information. Is there a specific font or glyph or does it freeze even without opening a font?

Actually, yes, it freezes even without opening a font.

Here is an example:

1. The software still can’t be touched in this phase until the next step.

2. In this phase, when opening a project or starting a new one, the entire screen of your software can't be touched. But I still have access to my computer, and it is fine except for FontCreator

Can you show a screenshot of version 15?

So you can open the Options dialog without issues, but it freezes as soon as you open a font?
