Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

So I updated to the latest version of Dolphin last week (I use a real Wiimote and it was set to that). After the update finished whenever I clicked the controller button it would cause Dolphin to freeze and go to non responding, I tried to use stable, new dev, and nothing worked. I then tried to delete the Dolphin folder in my Documents, then I was able to open the controller menu and it worked but the moment I tried to change to Real Wiimote or change any settings it froze and go to not responding. I then deleted the config folder i could open the menus again but the moment I tried to edit any settings it would go back to being frozen and not responding. So I can't change settings or use controllers.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

All Versions of Dolphin

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

[First broken version number here (if applicable)]

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

I can't reproduce this anywhere, so it must be an issue with your machine and as such belongs in the support forum rather than the bug tracker. Since you're already here, I can at least provide my best first guess: maybe you have some anti-malware software that's erroneously locking the config files, preventing Dolphin from writing to them which will cause it to freeze as you've observed.

I agree that it sounds like anti-malware software is causing this.
