    File Explorer always opens on startup


    My windows file explorer always opens on startup, and I cannot get it to stop. It always pulls up on the OneDrive Files (not sure if that is relevant). I cannot find a way to get it to not open. Any help?

    :)

    File Explorer Windows 10 - How do you stop it from opening at startup

    That's not Windows 10. Mine opens that stupid window at the startup, and checking the startup folder, there is NO item there saying Files Explorer. That was no help at all.

    File Explorer Windows 10 - How do you stop it from opening at startup

    Hi,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I would suggest you to open the task manager and disable the file explorer from there. Follow the below steps:

    1. Open the Task Manager.

    2. Go to startup tab.

    3. See if Files Explorer is listed there. If yes, right click and
    disable     it.

    Now check for the issue.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

    File Explorer Opens on Startup and Delete Windows 10 Upgrade Notification

    press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC

    Go to the Startup tab and look through the list if File Explorer is listed as an item, if it is, select it and click Disable.

    If that does not work Try steps 2 to 5.
