Dear Walter,
I understood everything you wrote. I can promise tomorrow I will do a clean install of Lubuntu 18.04 on a HP Desktop AMD X2 250 machine and avoid any upgrade, and I will test the behavior of the file manager. As I remember - on an updated system of course - the problem came up more frequently when an USB device was connected to the system. Eg. an USB hub with an USB stick inserted in.
Tomorrow I'll test it again. The freezing is not occurred only when I clicked a file on the USB stick but I clicked any of the files or folders anywhere system-wide or even SAMBA shares.
Now, when I tried to describe the freezing to you, PCManFM just freezes when just clicking here-and-there now in the /var/log folder... You can see the click not selects the file, not changes its color as selected, and the black backgrounded hint freezes on the window. Then clicking on an other window, PCManFM file manager instance vanishes. I open the syslog to see what happened: No, there is nothing new in the syslog as if nothing had happened. Now there is no any external drive or device connected to the machine. Uhhhh.. it's a hard thing!

Thank you for the kind helpfulness.
