  1. Explorer Freezes Temporarily When Creating a New or Renaming a Folder


    This has been happening recently. I can't say it is or is not related to the Anniversary Update. But when I create a new folder or rename an existing folder, the folder box will freeze for 30-60 seconds. Sometimes it will then function as normal, sometimes it will require me to click on the red X in the upper right hand corner. Most times when I go back tot he folder after forcing it closed, the new folder or renamed folder will be there.

    So I am not sure what this is or if this is a symptom of a more serious problem.

    Thanks for any thoughts.

    :)

  3. Explorer Not Responding on File Rename

    When I create two or more new folders in Explorer (and leave their names to be "New Folder", "New Folder2", etc) they are created correctly. When I then rename them, the first one renames correctly. Then, with the following folders, either Explorer hangs
    for about 30 seconds before the second folder is renamed or it crashes immediately, leaving the new folder2 with the name "New Folder2".
