Start with the call stack window's hexadecimal display path and investigate the reported hang in Visual Studio. The reporter mentions an internal dump but provides no reproducible steps, file, or test; done would require reproducing the hang or analyzing the dump and verifying that enabling hexadecimal display no longer hangs.
