Windows Explorer pauses or stops working
Hooking up the company laptop to my private network, always result in pausing (or crashing) Windows Explorer. Apparently, the installed network drives are causing the problems.
Try the following to fix this (=delete the available network drivers from your system):

3. Fixed (in my case, the network drives are pushed)
