Hello,
I have this problem where after some hours of use (~3, for example) the windows explorer takes up 40-50% of the CPU causing major performance loss. I do not know what is causing this problem, as it does have to do with my activity, since when this happens I am not using the explorer in the means of opening a file or moving data.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you need further information, I will be happy to provide it.
I see this too after deleting a large amount of files. The explorer window hangs open at 99% but 0 bytes left. Very reproducible.
I had had the same issue a simple way to fix it open Task Manager find Windows Explorer right click and press Restart

I'm also having this problem. Mostly happens few hours after the system started and when I have navigating through explorer a lot. Restarting explorer.exe didn't work.
I would suggest contacting Microsoft about the issue as they may have better knowledge of this bug.
