I've had this rather annoying issue since I first upgraded to Windows 10 (not via upgrade, but fresh install).

Whenever W10 opens the Open or Save dialog (i.e. you press Ctrl + S or Ctrl + O in most programs), about 8/10 times the dialog box will freeze for about 5-10 seconds before allowing you to do anything.

Has anybody else had this issue, and does anybody else know how to fix it? Thanks!

Ok so I found a solution from here:

Fix – Windows 10 Freeze Renaming – Saving Files and Folders

If you use lots of shared folders (NAS and network in general), Windows 10 quick access algorithm could create troubles.

Simply disable it to achieve again maximum response time from your system.

To change how Quick Access works, display the File Explorer ribbon in any folder, navigate to View, and then select Options and then Change folder and search options. The Folder Options window opens.

uncheck “Show frequently use folders in Quick access.”

uncheck “Show recently used folders in Quick access.”

press “Clear”

I made a GIF to show:

Make sure both boxes in Privacy are unticked.

I'm not so sure whether we are talking about the same thing here, but my open/save file dialog just hang for 20 minutes not responding.

These are the things i did that eventually fixed the problem:

1. Check system drive errors


2. run sfc /scannow


3. Search -> "indexing options"-> advanced -> rebuild


4. Check for malwares

I had a problem trying to save ilustrator files, and freezing my silhouette studio software on startup splash. Illustrator froze after clicking the Save button, after days of trying many things I found it was the printers. I had a network printer added that wasn't available anymore.

I deleted all printers in control panel and the problem dissapeared.
