I found this link

What is dwm.exe and why is it using so much memory?

With this note: "The steps below only work for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Desktop Windows Manager is not displayed in the Services window on Windows 8 and Windows 10, and therefore cannot be turned off or disabled."

Internet Explorer won't start

Since it's not allowing you to open the settings of the Internet Explorer itself, we suggest that you type inetcpl.cpl on
the search box to open the Internet Properties and follow the steps provided on the link that we have on our previous post.

Note: In doing this you can now skip step 1 under Reset Internet Explorer settings.

If the issue persists, we recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the Internet Explorer.
To do this, follow the steps below:

To uninstall the Internet Explorer, follow the steps below:

• 
  Click the Start button, type
  Programs and Features in the search box, and then select
  View installed updates.
  
• 
  Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the
  Microsoft Windows section.
  
• 
  Right-click Internet Explorer 11, click Uninstall and then click
  Yes.
  
• 
  Click one of the following:
  

• Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 11 and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer)
• 
  Restart later
  

To download and reinstall Internet Explorer, follow the steps below:

• 
  Check the System Type that you need to install by pressing
  Windows key + Pause key.
  
• Check the System type under System (Ex: 64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor).
• 
  Download Internet Explorer 11 (Offline Installer) on this
  link.
  
• 
  Choose your preferred language and Service Pack (Ex: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit).
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen prompt.
  
• 
  Once done, check if the issues persists.
  

Note: The installer that you can download on this link also applies in Windows 10.

We'll wait for your update with the result.

 

Explorer: not responding when opening folder with exe file


I have a folder full of *.exe files. When I navigate to the folder to read its content (files listed in "tile" mode), Explorer hangs for a minute or two displaying in the title bar "not responding". Eventually, the files are displayed but it is a bit of a pain. I modified Explorer's view options to not display thumbnails or icons of the files. But that had no effect. Is it that Explorer is attempting to read the content of these exe files to display the embedded images regardless of how I configure Explorer to operate? Is there anything that can be done to make Explorer display these files faster?
