thank you all so much for all the useful suggestions .
The task manager actually does not show AC as running which is what i find strange . The task manager shows no processes as running. It has happened on other client computers as well but rarely and usually responds to restarting the computer.

One reason it will not show processes is because you are not logged into the same account.
Why do you close AC at the end of the day?
Let it run.
You should be able to log in and it should be running. This could eliminate the "hanging" issue you are keep having.
