Explorer crashing when searching and naming folders on mapped drives in Win10
Hi, Our office has recently noticed a problem with Windows Explorer crashing a lot when people on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition computers try to search or create/rename a folder on a mapped driv...
It appears that an OS Reinstall has resolved the crashing issue, as far as we can tell. It was likely linked to the problem with data not getting deleted.
Hmm... I think everybody would be keen to know the root cause of this. Did your raise a case and / or provide logs to the ReadyNAS experts?
Also you original question was very different to the problem described in the solution where you were having issues around free space. It is this I am very keen to know the root cause of.
No, I didn't raise a case. These NAS boxes seem to have software problems all the time, and only an OS or full wipe ever seems to fix them. My best guess is that the software upgrades tend to break stuff.
In regards to how the two issues here were linked, I see them as both being about the NAS failing to accurately tell what data should and shouldn't be there, but that's only a guess. An OS reinstall is a very easy fix, so I'm fine with it for now.
