Description

I am on Windows 10 64bit. Latest version of fman and windows.

I observe some strange behavior for certain network folders.

Example:
if i try to access a network folder of my company, which looks somehow like this:
\\abcdef012.eu.company.com\ABC-DEF\__PROJEKTE\PRJ-ABC\_Public\Trainings

nothing (besides the mouse pointer indicator changing to the loading icon) happens for some minutes (!) until the files in the folder show up.

After waiting, the files show up but it seems like fman crashed (pointer remains at loading icon) and if I click into the left or the right tab, fman gets grayed out.

Opening the folder in windows file explorer works flawlessly.

This sees to be true for some network folders. Unfortunately I didnt not find a certain pattern, which is causing this issue until now. Any suggestions?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Reproduce the freeze on Windows 10 with the example UNC network path, compare fman with Windows File Explorer, and trace the folder-loading behavior; done means the affected folders load without the prolonged wait or the application becoming unresponsive.
