EOS 5D Mark IV freezing up in self-timer mode

I am having a sudden issue using self-timer mode on my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.

I was taking some family pictures & then was going to do a large group photo using self-timer.  I set it to 10 seconds, press down the shutter button to start the timer and then run into the photo before the timer ends.

I have done this process many times before!

Yesterday the shutter would not fire . . . at all! then the screen would freeze up completely.  I was not able to press the Q to access the screen or anything.  I was panicked and worried the camera is broke.  Through a quick google search I learned that it was due to being in self-timer mode.  I turned the camera off of self-timer and sure enough I was able to fire the shutter button again.

Why am I no longer able to use self-timer? 

Thank you!

Does it  allow you to use the shutter delay timers in automatic mode?  If do, test it.
