Hi there. Now, I don't frequent this section often as I can usually fix my own damn computer (seeing as I am certified to do so), but this issue is causing me some real trouble.
When deleting, opening, or generally messing with certain types of media files, particularly .mkv files, my explorer.exe decides LET'S TAKE UP ALL OF THIS DUDE CPU. Which is quite the feat, really as I have an i5 at 2.6 gHz. I have searched around google, cleaned up my registry, and then some, but none of it seems to be fixing my issue. It seems to be related to when I am deleting certain files. They are not infected, as I have checked. It just seems to not like me.
If you need any info, feel free to ask.
What program do you use to open .MKVs?
[QUOTE=BigPalooka;36478008]What program do you use to open .MKVs?[/QUOTE]
Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. I haven't had any issues with it up to this point.
Also, the issue most recently occurred when I went to delete a few .mkv files. Even after closing out of the Recycling text which gets stuck in an endless loop, explorer.exe still takes up 100% of my CPU usage. I can fix it by restarting explorer.exe.

Another note: The issue only occurs with two of the files in the folder. The rest of them behaved normally. I have scanned the files and they came up clean. I also tested the files in VLC player just to check if it was MPC-HC, and it did the same thing.
That's really strange, are the files exceedingly huge? I'm talking like upwards of 20 gigs.
Oh my no. Like, 800mb each tops.
Hmmm, the only thing I can think of trying is try doing said things in Safe Mode, and see if the same result happens.
If you're having problems deleting files, you could have problems with your hard drive.
Get VLC Media player? Just a suggestion.

Media player classic is better than vlc.

I used VLC player, but then I learned that subtitles in MPC have Anti-Aliasing and look a lot better.
That aside, after sleeping for a night, the problem miraculously disappeared. It got fixed when I cleared the database of Windows Media Player which makes NO sense whatsoever.
If you dislike VLC, try The KMPlayer.
Windows media player is a piece of crap.
