  1. File Explorer Crashing when clicking 8k video files


    Hi,Recently I attempted to move files from my Samsung phone which records in 8k video quality. I migrated the files just fine but now when I try to open them or right click to move them back to the phone it cause windows file explorer to crash and reboot. Is this a known issue? is it an issue on my end or has Android video processing gotten so far ahead of windows that the files are completely incompatible?Wondering what i should do. To clarify the issue is only with 8k video and not 4k and its not RAM because my phone runs them with 16GB and my PC has 64GB.

    :)
