All Windows 8 laptops are well inside warranty.

Also, it seems this is a 32 bit version of Windows. I'm left to guess that's a lot of things running at the time of the issue so you may be seeing a result of limits in the OS.

But there is a long standing issue with Explorer hanging on folders. I'll not go into that for now as you appear to be writing apps and would know that issue.

But I can't help you understand Microsoft's reasoning why it's OK for Explorer to hang on some folders. As you know Microsoft seems to think this is OK. So when there is a file that Explorer hangs trying to build an icon, then Microsoft's answer is one that while interesting only shows Microsoft's stance on the issue.

I'm not saying that's right but it's a well known issue that has been with us since the day Explorer appeared. Nothing new here.
