KB980408: Fix for Explorer freezing: does anyone know what app caused it?
- by Ian Boyd
Microsoft released an update for Windows 7 today (Tuesday, April 27, 2010): KB980408:
The April 2010 stability and reliability update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 is available.
The update fixes, among other things:
Windows Explorer may stop responding
for 30 seconds when a file or a
directory is created or renamed after
certain applications are installed.
i'm not experiencing it on my own Windows 7 machine, but two colleagues at work were experiencing the problem. i would really like to know what applications were causing problems.
Microsoft will never call out the misbehaving applications. i want to know what software i should be ridiculing and insulting. And avoid in the future.
Did anyone who was experiencing this problem isolate the applications?
