Windows 10: File Explorer - browser locks while files 'count down and disappear', until it gets to last...

Windows 1-0, happens on both my home and work pcs. The only shared programs are winamp and Clipgrab.I use a lot of audio files for work mps, wav. I'll get times where opening a folder with music files have also seen this with video and photo files, the file detail will slowly disappear one by one, from top to bottom. One it reaches the last file, the browser unlocks and is usable again. Quite the pain for any folder with more than a few, not to mention a few thousand. It feels like the files are being indexed somehow, as the second time I open the same folder it doesn't usually happen agai

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

Word Count Column in File Explorer

I work primarily with RTF documents. I came across the option in Windows File Explorer to add a "Word Count" column to the File Explorer display. The "Word Count" does display but it gives no count for any of the documents listed in the File Explorer.
From top to bottom no word count is displayed for any file created in any of the word processors I use. To date my search on the internet has not found a solution to the lack of word counts.

 

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

• Using File Explorer, I navigated to the folder I wanted to view the file counts, I right clicked on the column labels and chose File Count.

• This is occurring on any folder when I try to use the File Count column

• I currently use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes

• I also tried changing the View to Detail Pane, that did not make any difference.
