Problem with saving images from browser in windows 10 pro

I have been using windows 10 pro by upgrading from windows 8.1 pro, since last 2 weeks. Its just awesome. But i am just facing a problem, first time ever in my life, whenever i am trying to save a picture in google chrome or firefox from a webpage (by this process: Mouse right click on image>save image as>selecting hard drive folder), its just takes long time to save and slow down the browser and whole computer system. Almost happens this problem saving first image. after saving that, sometimes i don't get that problem and everything works fine.

My only problem is that, when i was saving an image, it just make my whole system hanged. I can't work until the picture is saved and fixed automatically. It take 3 to 5 minutes to fix or some times even more or i need to restart the computer. Its not a matter for image size, the problem is same for 10 KB picture or even 500 KB picture. Most of the time saving first image is the problem.

My Laptop model is "Dell Inspiron N5110" (Core i3, Ram - 3GB, HDD-300 GB, Windows 10 Pro X64 Bit). Can anyone please suggest me how to fix this issue?

Thanks

I did not run into this when I tested it. Perhaps there might be an example image url?

In the old days, there could be problems in some Windows applications if the folder that opens by default on Save As (possibly your Downloads folder?) contained a shortcut to a remote folder. Windows would search for and try to reconnect to that folder which could cause a long delay in the dialog becoming functional. Can you find anything like that in your Downloads folder (or other default location for Save As)?
