But the File Manager and the entire system hangs at that point. The dropdown list opens in the left column (/bin, /usr and the rest). The problem, and the 'freeze' occurs as soon as I click on 'File System' in Thunar. And I can go onward to open My Docs, My Music or whatever. When I open the Thunar File Manager, it's fine. Again, I couldn't do anything except power off.ĮDIT: I have just run through the steps again, and found a bit more information. Wallop! Task Manager showed CPU usage shooting up to 100% and staying there. 195 processes running, CPU at 3%, memory use around 10%. Third time, I opened up Task Manager first (without opening any other programs). Touchpad wouldn't click, mouse-pointer wouldn't move, and I couldn't open other programs or close down normally. But when I opened the Thunar File Manager it froze.

Today it booted up as normal, and the Firefox browser works OK. I have Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE installed on my laptop, and fully up to date.
