    File Explorer buffers and reloads every file in a folder when opened


    Ok, so if my computer is on for 2-4+ hours and I open a folder in Explorer with multiple files in it it will show all the files but then one by one at the speed of 1 second each, each name will disappear and then eventually when it does the last one, the folder will refresh and everything will be there in large icon view.This has happened on Windows 10 and 11, with every fresh install I do. GPU: Radeon RX 580 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor MOBO: B450 Aorus Elite V2Dual Monitors, 2 Hdd, 2 M2Ram: 4x F4-3200C16D-16GVGBMajor Programs that are usually on areChrome, Nord, Norton, Discord,

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Files remain in original folder after moving them to new folder in file explorer

    Hi,

    The issue that you’ve encountered regarding the File Explorer may be caused by some configuration or files mismatched. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you reset the folder settings from the
    Folder Options. This will reboot the folder’s preferences to its default state and remove any possible software conflict. To do this, you may follow these steps:

    • Click Start, type File Explorer, and press
      Enter
      .
    • On the File Explorer window, click the View tab > Options > Change folder and search options > View.
    • Under the Folder views section, click Reset Folders, and then select
      Yes to confirm.
    • Once you’re done, click OK, and then check if the issue persists.

    Note: This process will remove the list of files that you recently opened.


    Let us know if the suggestion works for you.

    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?
