Attempting to click and drag an Open World Demo Collection stalls operating system for extended period

Attempting to click and drag an Open World Demo Collection stalls operating system for over half an hour before eventually continuing.

This was tested on a Windows 10 computer with an AMD A12 processor, using a fresh 3rd person project template.
The assets were the mountain rock faces.
The bug seems to occur only once per asset, after which each offending file could be used normally.
