Yeah, whenever I try and rename it, explorer crashes and it cannot be moved, which means I can't move it to the recycle bin to delete it. Please help.

    The problem is not really solved.
    I have it too. My system is always at the newest patch version and when I try to Copy/Cut/Delete/Rename an .ogg file, it took about 5-10 minutes before something happens. And this is an Intel I7 CPU, 16 GB of Ram and everything should happen on an SSD drive.

    The file size is 82,9 Kilobyte.

    I did everything thats already written in this Thread.
    And If you dont have time to wait and try to close the window, the whole explorer crash and reboot itself.

    Hi JAL8 -

    I'm Jerico T., one of the Independent Advisor and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand that you're having some issues right now, let us sort things out.

    When did the issue started? Is there any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue? Please try to perform the troubleshooting methods below and check if any of the resolves fixes the issue.

    Method 1: Run a full scan of your antivirus

    • Initiate a full scan of your antivirus to check if there's a malware infection on your computer's system.

    Method 2: Perform Clean Boot

    • This process will eliminate 3rd party application running in the background of your computer along with services that are not needed to run windows. If there's any conflicting 3rd party application that causes the issue on your computer, this process will stop it.
    1. Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
    2. System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
    3. On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
    4. Click on services tab
    5. Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services > This is a very important part as if you miss to click on this, computer might not boot properly or permanently and will end up on clean installation.
    6. Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
    7. Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
    8. Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
    9. Click OK , Apply and close the configuration utility.
    10. Restart your computer and check if the issue still persist.

    Method 3: Perform SFC Scan and Repair Windows Image

    -This process will perform scan for any corrupted system files or integrity violation and will attempt to repair it along with the Windows Image.

    1. Open command prompt with administrator access
    2. Type each command below and wait until scan is completed.

    sfc /scannow

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Quick note: While the command is running, it's expected to see the process stuck at 20 or 40 percent. After a few minutes, the process will complete successfully.

    Once you complete the steps, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool will connect to the Windows Update servers to download and replace any damaged files in the local image for Windows 10 as necessary.

    1. Close the command prompt.

    If the methods above did not work, please don't hesitate to reach back.

    Hope this help. Have a good day.

    Thank you.

    Jerico T.
