PyCharm keeps freezing during indexing
PyCharm keeps freezing when trying to index a project. When this happens, windows file explorer also freezes - the only fix is a reboot.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling after clearing all the cached files and settings.
any ideas?

Hello,
To begin with, please try adding PyCharm and project directories to the anti-virus safe list and check if the problem continues afterward.
If this doesn't help to resolve the problem, please check if CPU or RAM is affected when the issue happens and do the following:
1. Disable all the non-bundled plugins (open Settings | Plugins, click the cog icon, and select "Disable All Downloaded Plugins")
2. Reproduce the problem and create a CPU or RAM snapshot by following this article.
3. Collect PyCharm logs with Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data.
4. Upload files to our file hosting and post the Upload ID here so we can check them.
I had the same issue, and in my case it was caused by a broken library package. Creating a completely new Conda environment fixed it. If the problem happens again, it is likely due to another broken installation for example somewhere under
Lib\site-packages.
