Then after numbering the songs
under CONVERT TAG TO FILE NAME

I can still use my PC but to close MP3TAG task manger is needed

Does this happen to new files only or old ones as well?
If files cannot be modified/renamed, then it is a good idea to check which other programs may have access to these files.

I have only used old files that i have probably changed tags before on.
So far its only when i convert TAG to Filename
Its weird because if you have 10 or more files sometimes you need that 01,02, etc to play in the correct order. I have done this many many times before.
No tried different folders dame issue, still trying to see if anything else freezes

This time I wanted to give windows-defender a second chance, deinstalled Avast and activated the defender.

You still have to look locally, what has changed in the meantime.
If nothing has changed, then everything should work as before.

AFAIK the defender is the Windows virus protection. So a check and perhaps the exception would still be worth a try.
