A Serious Bug in Windows Explorer
When you need an icon (thumbnail) that displays a picture or video file, it can't be displayed and Windows Explorer keeps loading. When you right-click on such a file, Windows Explorer freezes.
I wonder if the virtual machine was causing some threading issues with your operating system? Windows can only do so much at once since all the source files Link Dynamically. That's the reason they made Windows Implantations Libraries (https://github.com/microsoft/wil). It allows for multiple functions to be named the same thing. It sure is a sophisticated machine.
