    Slow refresh of icons


    As I said, I'm not a tech support guy. COM Surrogate seems to be a windows system file. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for you. What my searching told me was that the issue was with windows trying to build thumbnails for the video files and was somehow unable to do that quickly because of corrupted files. Once I removed those files (3 in total) everything was back to normal. None of the other fixes like changing folder properties etc in any of the forums I searched/Googled did anything. Those fixes seemed to work for some people but not for me. Seeing what files were seeming to hang windows up and deleting them fixed my issue. Best of luck.

    I dont know if it is the same problem but i also noticed the green bar loading when i open a folder with certain mkvs inside and the hdd load gets up to 100%. when i change the folder options so it treats the files as documents and not as videos then it loads instantly but it still hangs when i click on the mkv. it probably is some problem with the mkv header where windows 10 has problems to read something correctly. the same problem does not appear on windows 7 with the same files. windows 7 had a similar problem with the thumbnails and divx but that was easily fixed by uninstalling divx. in windows 10 i did not find any good solution so far.

    Slow refresh of icons

    WOW! A hearty thank you, my friend! I just installed and configured Icaros, and now, Windows 10 is exploring files just as fast as my Linux Mint OS! With a solution THIS GOOD, I couldn't care less if Microsoft stays constipated 'til Ragnarok! *chuckle

    I recommend it to anybody: Icaros 3.0.2 / 3.0.3 Beta 2 Download - VideoHelp

    Cheers!
