    File explorer appears in low-res? Fd8Xnxa48gpF32uWgfrAn1O8nIw0_jOxsFHDVstHguk.jpg

    Hey!

    I'm sure there's an easy trick for this I'm missing. In the past two weeks or so, my file explorer has started appearing in low-res when it's opened via an upload screen. Doesn't do this in any other situation. It's not major but really annoys me - any ideas how to fix?

    (not sure how well this registers in the screenshot, but at 100% the resolution is lower than my desktop).

    Thanks!

  2. File Explorer not opening via pinned Taskbar icon on Windows 10

    Hi Leon,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I apologies for delay in reply. I will certainly help you with this.

    I suggest you to unpin the File explorer from the task bar and re-pin the File Explorer and check If issue is resolved. If issue persist, I suggest you to follow the below given steps and check if it helps:



    I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin)
      to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
