Windows 10: Explorer keeps restarting every 3-5 seconds

My girlfriend's laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 330S) keeps continuously refreshing Explorer, roughly every 3-5 seconds. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Creating a new folder and right-clicking hangs Explorer for 5-10 seconds

Hi Abhishek,

I realize the inconvenience you are facing in creating the new folder in File Explorer, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

We appreciate your interest in resolving the issue.

Do let us know if you were able to see any error message/ error code when the File Explorer crashes?

Let us try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: End the Windows Explorer process and create the new one.

• Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, under Process
  tab, search for Windows Explorer.
• Right click on it and click on End task.
• Click on File in the Task Manager
  at top left corner of the window and select Run new task.
• Type explorer.exe and click on Ok.

Step 2: I suggest you to perform a full system virus scan and check if it helps.

Refer: Microsoft Safety Scanner - Free Virus Scan with the Microsoft Safety ...

Note: Data or files which are infected by malware might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.



Step 3: I suggest you to
Run check disk (chkdsk) and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, click Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
  

• 
  chkdsk / f
  
• 
  chkdsk /r
  

3. You may be asked whether to schedule this volume to be checked next time when you restarts (Y/N).

4. Press Y key on the keyboard and press
Enter key.

5. Restart the computer and check.

Chkdsk disclaimer:
The Chkdsk (Check Disc) scan will try to identify and repair bad sectors found on the hard drive. Any data present on these sectors might be lost in the process. The computer can also go into a no boot state. Proceed at your
own risk.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of File Explorer crashing for further assistance.

Thank you.
