First the backstory: After a very long hiatus (almost 5 years), I cracked open TS12 again with a fresh 1st class ticket - knowing I'd have content to update before anything happened. First thing I'm greeted by is the dreaded mandatory "updating database".... the EDR. First two times attempting to run, it made it all the way to "checking for faulty assets", and froze my PC indefinitely - of note here was there were over 475,000 assets to check.... I'm a hoarder. Third time through after thinking multi-tasking (Solitaire, YouTube, etc) might have been at fault, I ran it with Task Manager open and watched resources which, I already knew, were plenty. This time it only counted 265,000 assets and froze at the same spot. Hmmm... Went to "My Computer" and only had 12GB of free space on my TS12 partition, so I opened Easus Partition manager and went to work, freeing up some room to expand the partition so now I have 80GB free and a total of 227GB for TS12. Fourth attempt yielded better results, update finished, Content Mangler opened....but.... When I go to sort assets with the filters on the left sidebar - it freezes the PC again - indefinitely until I hard reset. What gives? Anybody have a better clue than I do?
