MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 causing Finder crash

OK, this helps. Thanks. But this is only a workaround. I hope Apple is not considering this thread as [SOLVED] now.

After 20 years of working on Windows and Linux, I finally decided to give iMac a chance. The first impression is pathetic: SMB deadlocks, keyboard failure, RAM failure to name just a few...

Same issue here, have been working on this all week.

Loaded special code offered on some of these posts. Trying clean installs now, will try beta next.

Can't remember an Apple OS upgrade this bad....ever. 🙂

Were you able to resolve this problem?

It seem I now have developed a similar problem. My finder will crash when trying to move or rename files on our server. the crash is hard and requires a restart of the MacPro.

all updates have been installed and I tried removing the signing at the etc~nsmb.conf file

Re: ”No Luck.”

Was that No Luck on the install,

or did you mean after 10.13.3 was [successfully] installed?

This flurry of recent OS problems says maybe I can do this cheaper on another platform, if its going to be all problems on a download “recommended for all users.”

I see for myself that it looks like it works now. Seems a little slower than what I am used to, but I haven't tested much - it's Saturday and I don't really want to think about VPN or work... but hopefully it really isn't slower. Slower meaning it seemed like it took longer than normal to save large files or transfer files to my local machine (ie to my Desktop).

Update: I installed 10.13.3 (17D47) last week and didn't experience any crash until yesterday when I tried to connect to a SME server through VPN. This happens only through VPN, when I'm on the server side of the network no problem at all.
I'm no computer expert and I'm not sure if this is a MacOs problem or the server's.

I'm currently running MacOS 10.13.3 on a brand new 2015 13" MacBook Pro (purchased brand new a month ago) and having a similar problem. I've never experienced this in the past. I have an updated my logmein hamachi instance where I connect to one of my servers via Samba (smb://) and it connects as expected, but the issue arrises when I go to copy a file in either direction. MacOS has a kernel panic and crashes 100% of the time.

I've tried this using cifs:// as well and the issue remains. This is a bit frustrating as moving files is part of my workflow and currently I can't do anything useful since High Sierra crashes. Any resolve from Apple would be great! A lot of us are dedicated Apple customers for many years and We'd love some feedback / advice here.

Thank you,

Same here. Issues is when connecting to both Windows server and afp to a studio server.

Sometimes connects, sometimes not. Sometimes can connect but not see any files.

Could you show me the link where you can see that the problem should be fixed?

I can't find it in the developer forums.

Installed 10.13.3. beta, no luck.

Hi all,

I'm experiencing the same issues here. Finder crashes after a while when connecting to a Windows share. I hope Apple will act quick on this one, thousands of users are having this problem...

Hello,

i tried sign in cifs and it hangs .

i tried to change smb to not use cache and it hangs

....

same here, apple, do anything about it!

is there a way to go back to 10.13.1 apart from timemachine / new installation?

Thanks, not working on my side. Please give a hint relatet to: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 causing Finder crash

Whenever trying to change a file name on a SMB share (Mac the client to a Windows 2016 Server), Finder crashes (beachball) and the only way is to hard reboot the machine. Very annoying.
