Having some hanging issues when doing something on disk
Recently started noticing that whenever I do something like create a new
file folder or sometimes even start a program, Windows 10 just hangs. While looking at if anything is busy during this time, CPU utilization seems normal and low, and disk activity is also normal and low. I can't seem to find any reason for these hang ups. I can still do other stuff while it's busy doing this. Is there somewhere in the Windows 10 event viewer logs that I can look at to see what's going on? This machine used to run Windows 7, and it now run Windows 10, and it never had these issues under 7. Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan Have you looked at Shell Extensions ? http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html From an architectural point of view, File Explorer is a rickety piece of crap. As it's so easy to screw it up. Start with a folder with 60,000 files in it. Move half of them to another folder. The source folder will develop the "busy cursor" which seems to sit there forever. One of many examples of "flaky pastry" software design. Paul |

Whenever I'd do anything that involved an actual disk access everything would stop for a few seconds; some log entries about ATA resets would appear and everything would start running again. |

Yeah, I got Hard Disk Sentinel installed, and it reports no new problems on any of these drives. |
