Freezing and crashing display when working with large quantity of PDFs

This morning I was sorting through a large quantity of PDF's in a directory on an NVMe drive and organizing them to various directories on a USB RAID drive. There are a lot of files in this directory I am trying to organize. Nearly ten thousand...

3 times this morning DO froze up....and once... my entire session crashed.

Looking through the event viewer... I am seeing windows CoPilot and windows Gaming things going on.

Have you come across anything like this? (I am leaning toward CoPilot trying to read my PDF's as I move them around.

I cleared the event logs and repeated the exercise until DO was misbehaving.

Thank you for having a look

What were you doing with the PDFs (or otherwise) when the freeze happened?

Were any crash dumps created?

I would occasionally open a pdf to make sure of its content. While I have adobe acrobat reader installed I use Foxit PDF reader as my default.

and no crash reports that I could find...

If you have not seen this before I think I will start with disabling CoPilot
(I don't use the thing anyway)

If something is crashing when viewing PDFs, the problem is likely in the PDF viewer, not in Opus itself.

You may also see the same issue in File Explorer, since it will (usually) use the same viewers. (Although sometimes there are differences in how each program loads the viewer which may mean a bug is triggered by one program but not the other, of course.)

I believe I tracked down what the core issue was.
After watching the task manager in one monitor and organizing my PDF's in another for a few hours.

I discovered that my RAM was being consumed more and more the longer I moved things around.
This computer has 32 Gigs of RAM and typically is using 25% at idle

But the more files I moved the RAM consumption would grow to 100%

Turns out the addon from voidtools "Everything" was just hoovering up all my RAM.

Since I uninstalled it I have not had the issue repeat Knock on wood
