Directories with HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit video sluggish

I couldn't find an answer or solution to this problem. Not sure if anyone else bothered to report this, but I am experiencing horrible sluggishness when accessing a directory with HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit videos. It also occurs when trying to move or copy HEVC/x265
or Hi10p/10bit videos. MPEG2/4 and x264 videos do not have this issue. It appears Windows is doing some type of analysis or verification of the HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit videos that slows it down. Any solution or fix to this? Do I need a video card with a hardware
decoder for HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit videos to have the sluggishness go away? Or does Microsoft need to have a Windows update to better recognize HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit videos?

Thanks.

Directories with HEVC/x265 or Hi10p/10bit video sluggish

Oh thank heavens for this thread! This issue started happening to me after the Fall creator's update installed. When dragging & dropping x265 files it would freeze Windows Explorer for several seconds before finally moving the file. This did not happen
with any other file type. This also did not happen to me before the FCU and I've been working with x265 files for a couple years now.

I'm happy to report that installing Icaros and activating the thumbnailing feature fixed the issue. I suggest others who see this thread try the same.

Issue is and is not resolved.

Tried the following:

When googled for similar situation, someone said to update VLC. Did that and it didn't make a difference.

@Sam mentioned it may be trying to create icon thumbnails (not the generic ones, like the VLC cone, but an actual picture like an album cover title). This makes some sense because if the video is not x265/hevc or 10bit/hi10p, I do get thumbnail images. It makes
me think that whatever code Microsoft uses to grab a snapshot/title out of the video file when you display a video directory, it doesn't know how to find it in an x265/hevc or 10bit/hi10p file. If this is the case, Microsoft needs to do an update on the code
because there are going to be a lot more x265/hevc and 10bit/hi10p now that 4k/UHD is taking off.

Doesn't matter if I have one x265/hevc or 10bit/hi10p file in a directory or hundreds or mixed with x264, still get the issue.

I followed the link @Sam gave but it was not clear how to turn off the thumbnail image creation process. I actually found it in File Explorer Options under View tab: check box next to "Always show icons, never thumbnails". THIS WORKED!

BUT - I want thumbnails. So do I tolerate File Managers sluggish-ness with x265/hevc or 10bit/hi10p files so I can have thumbs everywhere else or do I disable thumbs for everything???

Still looking for an solution without needing to disable thumbnails.

Thanks.
