Moving or deleting takes long -- dialog shows 99% for a couple seconds
Hi there,
This happened recently starting a few days ago, and I have no clue what could have caused this.
When I move or delete a file, it will show a dialog like this:
Attachment 89083
It turns 100% after a couple seconds and the move/delete is done. This happens even for very small files. This has never happened before, and I don't know what could have cause this. It even happens in Safe Mode.
EDIT 1: I found that if I create a new user on the system, the issues don't happen there! The issue remains on my main account...
EDIT 2: Renaming/moving/deleting causes a huge memory spike (from explorer.exe or runtimebroker.exe or settingsynchost.exe). Is this normal? See attached.
Also, the lag does NOT happen when I rename/move/delete a file within a dialog. For example, when I was uploading the above screenshot, I deleted and renamed a file through the pop-up, and there was no issue (reproducible).
Things I've tried to remedy this:
- Update Windows
- Disable services
- Disable indexing
- Uninstall recently updated or installed software (Core Temp)
- Go into Safe Mode
- Run sfc/ scannow
- Run antivirus
- Use Nirsoft ShellMenuNew to disable context options (as suggested by others elsewhere)
I'd rather not do a reinstall because I have large programs I want to keep installed like games, and I'm hoping there's a way to just get rid of the dialog box every time because it is really annoying.
Any other ideas I can try? Thank you!
