Windows 10: File Explorer Automatically Opening, No Solution is Working.

hello there,I'm facing the issues of File Explorer Opening Automatically from like past 2 months. I don't know what's the problem or what is the root cause of this issue. I also tried all the solutions available on the Internet, but nothing is working at all. I have repaired corrupted files, updated everything, tried disk cleanup, and also switched from Windows 11 to Windows 10, but not a single thing is working. It's too much frustarting now; after every hour or after 2-3 days, I need to face this issue again and again. Please help me with this. I don't know what the problem is.

:)

 

File explorer slow/Never loading solution

I would have never thought of this -
This DOES stop the lag with explorer, and does not seem to have any adverse effect on anything that I normally use.
Thank you for solving the problem... AND sharing the solution with us

 

File explorer slow/Never loading solution

OMG yes. Thank you.

This was exactly the solution I was looking for. This problem was getting extremely painful, and everything else I'd found was talking about changing the folder optimization setting, i.e. Documents/Photos etc, which making no difference at all.

 

File explorer slow/Never loading solution


Ok so since upgrading from 7 to 10 file explorer has been a absolute nightmare! Everything was either incredibly slow, didn't happen or only partially load. After enduring this to this day I have decided enough is enough and started diagnosing by limiting the startup services using MSconfig.

After going through enabling startup services groups at the time and restarting the computer everytime! Eventually I found the service that was causing the problems with file explorer. The service is called Windows search and once disabled it restored functionality to file explorer. The search function in file explorer works but the search in the taskbar doesn't.

Step by step guide:
1. Hold Win+r to open run
2. Type msconfig and hit ok or enter
3. Click Services
4. Navigate to Windows search (you can sort the list in descending alphabetical order)
5. Uncheck tickbox
6. Click apply then ok
7. Select to restart now

Hope this works for you.
