In a way I agree with you Lowpro, I never use the dual method download from Netflix and Amazon at the same time, or any other provider (Disney). I am happy if I get a great download, which by the way I do. Some user that runs a lot of background processes is pushing their computers, just my opinion. Lots of people on the forum are using weak laptops. I am not sure that affects anything but, to be honest, I think it might, but I am not a developer, I do not know what it can and can't do, it's just, my feeling. My personal opinion. One download at a time is plenty for me.
Didnt we chat about something blocking the download. ( You called me Firefox LOL)It appears that it was the Norton Anti-virus' "smart firewall" that was causing the problems after that last update a couple of days ago.
With it being disabled for the duration of these logs, which I was able to do dual downloads, AS did not lock up or give a 'not responding' message.
So, here are the logs, except for the last one, I was able to manually create by clicking on file/create log, without crashing AS. I hope these successive logs can help the devs .....
And a big THANK YOU TO Firefox1, Ch3vr0n and Lowpro for your suggestions and guidance while putting up with my frustration.

Yes, but this was not something that "I" did, that is what was throwing me for a loop.
But I also just learned something about NAV, it creates logs too.
I'm sure there were others, but I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, which is where these came from - and I think the 'smart firewall' was active during these entries....

lajoes,
Personally, I wouldn’t use Norton products. They are resource hogs and cause more problems then “solutions” they offer. Stick with Defender, and use a Standard User account. Put a strong password on the built-in Admin account. You don’t even need to login with the Admin account to perform the most common Admin tasks.
Don’t ever run multiple AV products, especially if they are running in “real-time protection” mode. I use Malwarebytes (free version) only as a secondary scanner that I run manually. I don’t even activate the free 30 day trial because Defender is my primary coupled with a Standard account.
As for running simultaneous “streams” with APV, NF & D+... I do that all the time. It works great. I build my watch list using my iPad, and then use that to go off of when “AnyStreaming” between providers.
Get rid of Norton and all that other garbage and your system will function a lot better.
Norton products have been resource hogs since day one. They assume the only reason you turn on your machine is to run their software.
Thanks for letting me rant while you helped me work through it.
