Windows 10: 1903 / 18362.145 Can't interact with Explorer.

Hi,

Issue : Windows Explorer doesn't respond in any way, can't open start menu, notifications, any apps on the task bar except Photoshop. Can't click in the search bar, can't close windows except for Photoshop, can't close or move tabs in Edge. We can force close in Task Manager, but that doesn't help. In Task Manager Windows Problem Reporter is going crazy, uploading 1-5 Mbps of error reports. Restart is required. This happens over and over again.

Scenario : We were doing some work today, we had used Photoshop and Edge and had opened some images in the Photos app. So the first thing we notice is that tabs can't be closed or moved in Edge, then we see Explorer stop responding, except Photoshop as already mentioned.

I'm pretty certain this is Edge's fault, because it reminds me a lot of similar problems I was having with Edge going back about a year, where it's tabs would become corrupted and also where I couldn't interact with Explorer, requiring restart.

:)

 

Decent Price For Uk Members For Q6600 With G0 Stepping!

im still tempted by a xeon 3210, they cost around £145, but nowhere lists which stepping they are (though komplett's specs say 105w, which would indicate a b3)

 

Windows Explorer stop interacting with Windows

Hi Rupanjan,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that the file explorer stops responding. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

This issue may arise when some of the Windows components or applications gets corrupted. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the explorer issue.

• Select Task Manager.
• Under process tab, locate Windows Explorer.
• Right Click Windows Explorer and select End Task.
• Now select on File tab and click Run Task.

• Check if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to
perform SFC scan and check if it helps to resolve the issue.



System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Microsoft Windows that allows users to scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Perform System File Check (SFC), and then check if this fixes the issue.

• 
  Press the Windows button + X on your keyboard, a mini dialogue box will appear.
  
  2. Choose Command Prompt (Admin). You must run the command prompt in Administrator level.
  
  3. On the command prompt type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
  
  4. If everything went okay and no errors were found, restart your computer and see if the issue re-occurs.

Cumulative Update KB4497093 for Windows 10 Insider 1903 build 18362.86 Insider

That surprises me. The reason I downloaded 18362.30 from UUP Dump was that MS had just released that build for a wider distribution on MSDN, suggesting it is the likely RTM.
