Seeing as this is still on page 1 here's an update...
The problem reoccurred and is an irregular feature of my week, so it's not especially bothering me but I found I had a spare SSD kicjuinbg around so I've just rebuilt my system using a clean disk and fresh Windows software, carefully putting back on it all the programs I want etc. I finished it earlier today, and it probably took about 6 hours in total (well, alongside doing it I framed a lithograph of the Southampton set list by Ronnie Wood when I managed to get a Pit ticket, and a few other jobs.)
It's almost finished. I had to reboot back to the old disk to get a couple of bits of info and when I went back to the new disk it had the problem!!!
I'm not really looking for help as I now know how to get out if it reliably. If I reboot the computer it can still be a problem after reboot. Or it would just clear itself in time anyway (maybe up to 10 minutes). But if I disconnect my PC from the LAN (it's hardwired) and reboot it works fine right away, then plug in the network and it immediately sees all the network drives and works fine.
I think my next changes will be a new Ethernet cable and also a cheapo card. Bearing in mind the symptoms have only ever manifested on my PC and I can access the NAS fine from elsewhere.
The odd thing is I can still browse in Chrome during the problem and do other network things. I did put some tools on to analyse the network traffic during a problem but as I can't open files through Explorer during a problem (as it's hung) I guess I need to open a DOS window in case I need them (that won't open either when mid problem).
