PtE becomes unresponsive when file list is in WinSxS

[MikeL117]

Hi

I think I have stumbled across a small but frustrating bug.

If the file list is 'accidentally' pointed at the system folder WinSxS in windows 10, PtE becomes un responsive. Any action, including selecting a different folder, takes on the order of a minute or so. CPU usage at this time is about 13%. The only way, that I have found, to get out of this state is to patiently select a different folder. The other system folders do not seem to affect PtE. 

Re-starting, re-booting, re-installing does not help as PtE remembers  the folder.

This probably will not affect most users as the system folders are usually hidden.

Thanks

Mike
