The problem was with windows explorer. Following this guide I was able to find a solution:
https://www.maketecheasier.com/windows-explorer-crashing-fixes/

I narrowed the fix down further to enabling (checking) "Always show icans, never thumbnails" in Folder Options>>>View>>>Files and Folders

That is all I had to do to fix the problem
