I cannot reproduce it.  Is this again on those systems where you have
PowerToys installed?

In any case, my Emacs is a 32-bit build, so maybe that is a factor
(since SysWOW64 is a special directory for 32-bit programs running on
64-bit Windows).

Hell Emacs,

I found that when running w32-shell-execute with "open" will cause Emacs
freeze. And I have to kill the process of Emacs to restart.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Emacs with `emacs -Q`
2. M-: to eval the code below, you can change the second arg to other folder: 
```
(w32-shell-execute "open" "~/.emacs.d/")
```

3. Now the Emacs is frozen, C-Q also can not recover it. So you have to
kill process of Emacs, and restart Emacs again.


Best regards,

Eason Huang
