In the computer management disk management hangs when it is activated

I'm trying to set a drive letter for one of my external hard drives. The way to do it is to go into the management of the computer, and then select disk management. I can get that far, but when I select disk management it list all my readers, but then crashes. In the lower part of the screen, it says "loading disk configuration information...". "and does not show the disc information on the screen at the bottom. I have to use the Task Manager to end the program.

Any ideas on how to get this to work? Is there another way to set a drive letter for a local hard drive?

f. Once you find the culprit, check if there is any updates to update or fixes to the program. If you find, install them and check the difference or reinstall the latest program.
