    Save-As dialogue box freezes


    I am using Windows 10 version 1511 (OS Build 10586.753). I'm facing a problem in the "Save as" dialog box. It freezes for 15-20 seconds in every software, be it Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft word, photoshop, etc.What must I do to resolve this issue?

    :)

    Funny thing actually, you're a little late because I've been sitting here for the past 4 hours trying to repair my damaged PC. It's system files and even boot files seem to be corrupted Beyond repair

    Hello Saphire,

    We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we can identify the cause of the issue. Were they downloaded on the official website?

    If it is happening to all programs, it is possible that the system files got corrupted. To assist you with your concern, we suggest that you run the
    System File Checker and Deployment Image Servicing and Management
    to scan and fix corrupted system files. You can refer to this
    Forum Article created by
    ZigZag3143 regarding SFC and DISM.

    Let us know the outcome.

    Regards.

    Save-As dialogue box freezes

    When you open a 'Save as..' window from any app you are actually calling Explorer.exe with some custom parameters, the same executable that when run without any parameters gives you File Explorer. A freeze suggests that a folder or device in the view it opens to is not immediately accessible and takes a while to confirm that it's there.

    Do you have any mapped network drives, for example? Or an external drive that may need to spin up before it can be seen? Exactly what causes your delay depends on how your system is configured. Does File Explorer freeze in a similar way? If so, find the folder/device that causes the delay there and it should fix it for 'Save as..' too.

    No, I don't have any mapped drives. My pc is all alone. File Explorer works flawlessly. Its just the save as dialogue box which is causing trouble.

    This problem has been around far longer than Windows 10. It often involves a previously network connection that's no longer available. It can be difficult to track down because (obviously) you won't see a mapping that Windows tries (and fails) to find. It could even be down to Onedrive not being signed in.

    "Save As" and "Open" file dialog windows very slow to appear...

    I'll check out the link soon. Just to be more clear. I've never mapped my PC or networked it anywhere. It's been all alone since 2006.

    Save-As dialogue box freezes

    I tried this as explained on this web page
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com...tpronetworking

    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

    It hasn't helped me yet.

    Changing the name of the PC doesn't help either, neither changing the name of the workgroup.
