kbfs dokan freezes file explorer and uses 100% CPU on Windows 10

I tried using it in Windows 10 Insider Preview latest build + just a regular updated Windows 10 (not Insider), and in both conditions it freezes very often.

As far as I've seen (from observations only, didn't check the code), this might be related to the list of files browsing in-between folders. Everytime I enter a folder which contains more than a few files it takes a while until the explorer return to work. In some cases I even have to force close explorer in order to unfreeze my computer...

When I connect my phone to a computer and browse my files it sometimes take a while until all the files are listed, but instead of freezing explorer.exe it shows a loading bar and populating the files list on the go, my question is if this is possible to add this "lazy loading" feature on kbfs dokan as well


Thank you in advance!

Start by reproducing the kbfs dokan behavior on both regular and Insider Windows 10 builds, focusing on entering folders with more than a few files. Investigate file-list enumeration and compare the observed behavior with the described loading-bar experience; done means Explorer remains responsive without sustained 100% CPU usage.
