Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 issue with the listed steps, then inspect debug.log around the home-page transition, the drive showing Unknown size, and the crash. Trace the drive-size loading entry point from that evidence; done means switching from another folder to Home no longer shows Unknown or crashes.
