Plex scanning causes the device to stuck

There are many files on my device. Each PLEX starts scanning (I set it scan once / every day), which will cause the device to be stuck, and even bring my computer file manager stuck.

When the scan is complete, the file manager will return to normal.

Firmware is 8.8.0-112.
