    Hello,

    After installing the new update: kb4598229 file manager freezes often and i have to force close it and then restart it but again freezes. Especially after wake up it freezes every time.

    Here is the log:

    </EventData>

    </Event>

    Another problem when use batch script it take a lot of time to execute before the update it was fast:

    for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims==" %%i in (wmic os get LocalDateTime /VALUE 2^&gt;NUL) do if '.%%i.'=='.LocalDateTime.' set ldt=%%j

    Please advise for a fix.

    I am facing lot of difficulties since these updates have been released  !!

    Since two days My Harddrive is running on 100% on Ethernet connection and it's nearly impossible to do any work on my PC. If I connect my PC with my mobile through hotspot (as metered connection) then harddrive acts normally. 

    Even if I've changed the Ethernet connection as metered connection, but still it makes my PC unusable and harddive usage reach to 100% continuously. 

    Kindly tell what should I do ?
