I don't think it matters what program I use, as long as I open it
first. The only exception to this I've found might be File Explorer. I
opened that the other day after forgetting I was going to try and open
Audacity first, and it didn't seem to have an impact, meaning that it
still worked as expected. Keeping Audacity open, I opened iTunes and
Firefox, then switched back to Audacity and tried switching folders
again as if I was going to import something like I have described
before. It continued to work as expected. So, keeping Firefox and
iTunes open, I closed Audacity and reopened it. This time when trying
to switch folders, it locked up as I have described. I have not tried
closing Audacity then reopening it again. I will admit that I haven't
tried every program on my computer, but I usually attempt the import
process right after said Zoom recording is done, so Zoom has been open
and it does the same thing.

Hi Bob,
thanks for the info about using Windows Defender. I doubt that the problem
is due to lack of physical resources, like not enough memory - 8GB should
be more than adequate.
You say that if you use Audacity, then use some other programs, and then
reopen Audacity, that's when you have problems. It might be worth trying to
make a bit more specific. For example:
1. If you first open audacity do some stuff, and all works OK. Then just
close it, and open it again and see if it's still working OK.
2. Try and work out if it's running a particular program between first
running Audacity and then running it again. So try just running a single
program between first opening Audacity and then running it again.

Hi all,
Well, I spoke with Ted on the phone for about an hour yesterday and
had him stumped. The only theory we could come up with is that my hard
drive is about 70% full, which was causing things to slow down. I
would have thought though that I would be experiencing more problems
than just Audacity. The other thing that's puzzling here is that when
I open Audacity first, I don't have the problem, even when I open
other applications with Audacity still running. However, if I then
close Audacity and reopen it, it locks up as described earlier.
Bob
