How to solve the Windows 7 folder unresponsive system suspended animation problem?

  
Resource Manager "fake death" is really bad, but it is not a spell that cannot be solved. We can take appropriate settings to slow down or even avoid this phenomenon.
Solution:
Open the folder window in a separate process.
Just as Internet Explorer browser multi-process access prevents crashes, we can set up a folder window to open in a separate process.
Press “Win+E”Open Windows Explorer and click on <;Tools-> Folder Options”.
(If the toolbar is not visible, press “Alt” on the keyboard to call it up.)

After this setting, the next time you open the folder, it will not open in this window, but another window will pop up. And we will see two "explorer.exe" processes in the task manager, even if a folder window is stuck, it will not affect the operation of other file windows.

Change the folder properties to improve the response rate.
When a large file is opened in Windows Explorer, the file is scanned first and a loop is executed to check all parts of the file for indexing. If the file is large and there is no index information, the system will take longer to query the index of the file, and the CPU usage is higher. Of course, file previews, thumbnails, etc. can also cause slow response. Can be temporarily turned off to speed up the reaction.
Cancel Index:
Right click on the target folder/drive and select “Properties”.
