Spotify crashes and freezes Windows 10 when adding local files

Spotify crashes and freezes Windows 10 when adding local files

I have about 14,000 songs on my hard drive and everything I add the source in the preferences it takes so long to load it and it stops around 65 songs. After that my Spotify becomes unresponsive and my whole Windows 10 just freezes. I am running the recent version of Spotify I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and deleted the cache and storage but the same thing still happens. I am on a Premium plan. I have tried using another computer still does the same thing. I tried running in admin and disabling hardware acceleration. I try splitting the files by adding little by little. Nothing works it just keeps crashing and freezing. I am on a desktop. Also, I am not using the Windows Store version I am using the one from the Spotify site.

Any ideas?
