Yes, I am experiencing the same problem. Not all network folders are
affected. Some work okay. All local folders work okay too.

It also depends on how I access the folder. For example, I have this
problem with \\company.com\root\folder. If I get to the same folder using
the path \\server\folder I don't have the problem.
