hang when try to delete any file in Windows 8 x64
It maybe about the recent system update or something, anyway, every deleting became painfully slow. Anyone has meet similar problem?

I don't know, if VistaDelete is relevant here. According to the screenshot, dindog is using Win95Delete=1, which should bypass TC's internals and use Explorer to delete those files. Which brings us back to the question, why it should be slower when started from TC.

Yes, I knew there are different reasons will lead to problem like that. First thing come up in my mind is it a TC problem or not. Now I've notice some other program hangs too while under operation related to Explorer like open dir.sqa_wizard wrote:A slow deletion may have various reasons.
- Check your recycle bin: If it is full, empty it.
- Check your wincmd.ini: If there is an entry "VistaDelete=0": Remove the entry or set "VistaDelete=1".
It is valid for Win7 and Win8 too.
It was totally fine at least a week ago, I will try to uninstall the recent windows updates to track down whether updates have relevance to the problem or not...

No luck with uninstall all system update of the last month.....

Try and check with a new ini.
totalcmd.exe /i=freshtc.ini

And I also have new discovery.
1. Not only delete, but also copy operation will make my PC hanging.
2. If I drag and drop file from TC to explorer, vice versa, or even to another TC instance, no hanging at all, copy and delete will start instantly.
I doubt some of my tweak screw off my Windows' feature, I honest don't want to resort to re-install Windows 8. I appreciate any suggestion.

PS, when I said "hang", I mean TC is out of response, but system CPU usage and harddisk write & read reading are normal.

It could be a new shell extension which was recently installed by another program. Try searching for ShellExView here in the forum for instructions.
