Always Hangs on 6th Tag

The same happened as before: Mp3Tag became very slow in loading files in spite of the activated library-function. I tes…

You may have been on to something with the Windows Defender suggestion. I made a pair of blanket inbound and outbound firewall rules, restarted the computer, and added the directory with all the files I'm trying to tag to the library. One of those things seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you very much.
