    Windows Explorer hangs when going into folders that contain OGG files.


    As of very recently, I've been having problems going into folders that contain .ogg music files in them.

    It mostly takes absolute ages to do anything with them, e.g. renaming, moving, deleting, and if it doesn't take absolute ages to rename it, the explorer instead freezes, forcing me to restart it through task manager.

    I've took a look online and have seen some 'fixes' but they haven't really helped. I've went into Indexing Options and disabled indexing for ogg files, and I thought it helped a little but it didn't really do anything. Pretty much any help would be appreciated.

    .ogg files continuously crash the entire Windows Explorer whenever selected.

    Any time I select a .ogg file be it left-click or right-click, the entire Windows Explorer hangs and I have to restart it with Task Manager. Again, this goes for any file in the .ogg format. Sometimes just visiting the folder a .ogg file is enough to crash
    Windows Explorer! Is there a way to fix the issue? Or at the very least delete the .ogg files without File Explorer? Thank you!

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Explorer hangs when going into folders that contain OGG files.

    Unable to move .ogg files

    It only lists Windows Explorer as a lock, and if I try to run it it says it successfully unlocked however it doesn't fix it.

    Strangely though, .ogx files work now, although .oga and .ogg files are still broken.
