When I edit a .mkv file (rename, delete or copy/move) on one of my partitions, file explorer freezes and I need to restart it with taskmanager.

I haven't encountered any other files that cause the same freeze as this one (yet..).

I already searched on google and tried editing from a webbrowser and the drive is defragmented automatically, so I don't know what to do.
 
Solution
Sounds like corruption if it's only one file that causes it. Run a disk check scan (right click on the drive, properties, and then select the second tab), it might find a disk error.


I tried it and it doesn't spot any errors, weird...
 


Weirdly enough I can suddenly remove the folder in which the file is placed, I hope I won't get this more often...
