Yes, I read that item in the beginning, but it seems irrelevant. There have always been an occasional few files that were not scanned, but they were understandable in terms of the reasons given in this article, and evidently innocuous. However, as I’ve explained, the current and persistent batch of nearly 12,000 files appeared suddenly and coincided with the intermittent degradation I described previously. The explanation in the article doesn’t seem to adequately address my situation. Also, this enormous group of inaccessible files is in a temp folder, yet is apparently permanent. That’s one of the reasons why I suspect mischief is afoot.
