+The title explains what the problem is.
+You might've also noticed that it spikes a CPU core's utilization to 100%.
+Furthermore everything works if you enter a file location manually in the corresponding input field, it's just that darn button.
+
+This issue is caused by some sort of problem with the storage pools[^storage-pools] when it tries to load them.
+I was able to fix it by pretty much deleting that folder, but you really should just rename it:
+
+```
+sudo mv /etc/libvirt/storage /etc/libvirt/storage-broken
+```
+
+libvirt automagically regenerates the original folder, so you might need to restart it:
+
+```
+sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
+```
+
+[^storage-pools]: The storage pool is just a folder with files that store what locations can be used by virtual machines (more info [here](https://libvirt.org/storage.html)). In the case of virt-manager, pretty much every time you select any folder or file, a folder entry gets added there.
