So I moved one of the affected albums to a test folder on my NAS. It
didn't help however. Dropouts are still present like before. I rebooted
the laptop and started LMS as administrator but this also didn't change
anything. 

Some observations though:

-Copying of this album to the NAS with file explorer went fine. It
wasn't lightning fast but as to be expected from a mechanical drive to
another one. In a matter of seconds the album was copied over.
-When rescanning my LMS library and adding the newly pointed folder I
noticed however this proces was very slow. It took over half an hour for
just rescanning (not adding) my library and adding just one album. On my
NAS this proces took only 2 or 3 minutes tops. 

So it seems LMS is somehow hampered in reading the hard drive, any hard
drive for that matter since results with the folder I placed on the NAS
are similar. Other than that the laptop works fine. As I said it's not
lightning fast but reasonably fast for a laptop with a spinning drive.
It has a fresh install of Windows 10 so there isn't much running in the
background. Everything else I do on it is reasonably snappy. It seems
only LMS has performance issues, and only when it comes to reading large
amounts of data. Navigating the settings menu and adjusting things in it
works perfectly. Also, loading a large playlist (2000 songs) goes almost
instantly. This took forever on the NAS, sometimes freezing the entire
NAS...

Would re-installing LMS be a sollution? If so, would there be benefits
in upgrading to a more recent version of LMS. I'm currently running the
official Logitech version 7.7.6.
