Explorer freezes when renaming/deleting folder: LanmanWorkstation
Hello,
I have been having this issue for quite a long time (even when I was using Windows 8.1 before upgrading to 10).
Basically, Explorer freezes for ~7s when I rename/delete/move a folder. It even shows "Explorer not responding" in the task manager after few seconds.
When deleting/moving a folder, the progress bar is stuck at 99% for several seconds.
The freezing does not happens all the time (I would say 80% of the time). It seems to appear randomly.
It happens only on folders (not files).
Also, it never happens when copying folder.
I did my homework and finally found the culprit : the "Workstation" "LanmanWorkstation" service.
It runs as "svchost.exe -k NetworkService".
Disabling this service fix the Explorer freezing... but this is not a viable solution since (I guess) my system needs this service running.
During the freezing, there are no excessive CPU load or memory/disk/network access.
Does anyone has an idea/solution ?
Thanks.
