The background should notify the ui.

Do your file creation code in a separate thread: the BackgroundWorker Class (System.ComponentModel) | Microsoft Docs[^] is easy to use and provides a "Worker completed" event you can handle to tell you when it is finished.
Set the button.Enabled to false in the designer, then in the BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted Event (System.ComponentModel) | Microsoft Docs[^] set it to true.
