My issue is fixed!
I had an accumulation of reparse files in the .covefs folder. The quantity must have gotten to a number that the program could no longer deal with causing the hangs. The root cause being symbolic links. Once I moved the folder out of the hidden one everything started acting as it should. The links no longer work but that is fine. I will figure a way around it. I stumbled on to this thanks to another forum post;
The problem he was facing sounded all too familiar. Thanks for those who responded to my issue. Since these files can cripple a system when they get to a certain quantity it may be good idea for the program to throw an error as the number is reaching a level that can cause the system to become non-functional. Maybe an entry in the Wiki? I guess it might just be an edge case...
