Waiting for Application Under Test and Xceed Contol Random mtm.exe hang

Question

Can someone please advise as to why mtm.exe has basically become unusable to our QA team.  More time is spent end tasking the application and rebooting than any good it is doing.  We are consistently getting waiting for applications under test
(reason for this unknown) and the test runner locks up completely on any dynamic xceed control.  We are using VS 2013.4
Here are a few examples of exceptions from the trace log:
ClassName [SysListView32], RuntimeId [404482_0_[MSAA]ControlType='List' && ClassName='SysListView32']] (window handle [404482]) instead of [Name [mtm.exe *32], ControlType [ListItem], NativeControlType [list item], ClassName [SysListView32], RuntimeId
[404482_22_[MSAA]Name='mtm.exe *32' && ControlType='ListItem']] (window handle [404482])

Hi Jameebug,
You could share the log fine on the OneDrive and share the link here.
There is a link about enable tracing for MTM that may benefit you:
