Windows 10: Programs freeze when using a feature involving file system access.

Hello,


I recently started to have some problems on Windows 10. I first noticed it when I wanted to work with GIMP. When I tried exporting an image the process stopped responding. I killed the process. This time I tried simply creating new project in GIMP and the process stopped responding again. Till now I noticed similar behavior in qbittorrent and Steam when trying to install a game. When the process is not killed it starts responding again after a long time.


First time the problem occurred was on Windows 10 Education 2004 Version. I did the Update to 20H2 few days ago but the problem still persists. The problem seems to have something to do with file system access or pop up dialogs.


My System has 16 GB of RAM and 500 GB 750 Samsung EVO SSD.


I tried optimizing the drive using Optimize-Drive CMDLET and I run CHKDSK on all volumes on this SSD. None of which worked. I am currently using about 400 GB out of the available 500 GB.


Has anybody encountered similar problems before? Is there a solution?

Thanks to everybody in advance
