I have 8.1 installed and a photos folder with a lot of photos etc in it.

Problem is when I open the folder and try and move the images into folders or just generally do anything with it the folder closes and shunts me back to desktop. Any ideas?
 
Cheers for all the suggestions guys. I made the changes in my NAS then sync'd them back. Interestingly opening a folder on my NAS with the same files suffered no such problems.
 
Well this started happening on both my onedrive and desktop folders. Only the ones containing a large volume of photos. It would open but any attempt to do anything and I'd be kicked out and the folder would close.

Anyway I have found a solution. In the settings tab for the folder I changed it from optimise folder for photo's to optimise for general documents. Now works fine. Only sharing in case some other poor soul comes across this thread whilst pulling their hair out!
 
Bit of a thread bump here as once again pulling my hair out.

I have a couple of folders with a few thousand pictures in them, roughly 3000. Everytime I open the folder to try and sort them, move them or simply look at them it crashes to desktop.

I've tried running ccleaner and setting the folder type to general instead of optimised for photo to no avail.

Any ideas?
 
No codecs installed, unless GeForce experience uses some?

Will try both of those options, cheers mate

It's a normal fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro having recently swapped out my motherboard.

Will also try 7-Zip. It's really strange it's driving me crackers
