    Windows 10, File Explorer lock up

    Change File Explorer's initial search of Access as follows.

    Go to File.

    Click on 'Change Folder and Search Options'

    In General folder change 'Open File Explorer to' 'This PC' rather than 'Access' and 'Apply'.

    Hello yogeshk,

    It is possible that an administrator account on the PC has adjusted the group policy so that this item can't be accessed.

    If you are an administrator then you can view the group policy editor and see if it has been changed:

    *Arrow Folder Options - Enable or Disable in Windows 8
