Description

On Windows 10, when in fman I open a folder, that contains a shortcut to a remote location, that is currently unavailable, fman freezes for about half a minute, as if it were trying to open that remote location.

Update: since recently the bug appears not at the moment, when I try to open the folder, but when I scroll down to the page, that lists the shortcut file.
