I had a gig three weeks ago, my first in a while, so I updated my laptops, two ASUS Zenbooks with the latest Windows updates and the latest Traktor at the time.
The gig went well, but almost every time I loaded a track, the Traktor UI would freeze, the playing waveform would stop moving, and it would take about 20 seconds for the new track to load.
I had another gig yesterday, so I did the same routine, updated Windows, updated to Traktor 4.5 and off I went. This time, I used the other laptop, and the exact same problem occurred.
These laptops are used only for DJing, have been thoroughly cleansed of unnecessary bloat, and do not have any software other than Traktor installed on them.
This problem doesn't affect the playback, but it's super annoying as it feels like the whole thing could crash while it's frozen. The excessive loading time is especially stressful when the other track is running out.
Occasionally, a track would load fine. My tracks are mostly AIFFs, with some MP3s thrown in, so I am wondering whether the problem occurs when loading a particular file format, but I've not investigated that.
I see another post in the SERPs from 5 days ago that appears to be about this problem, but it has been deleted. Why?

Does anyone else have this problem? Have you found a solution?
Thanks.
