    File Explorer Causes Black Screen


    Whenever I click on File Explorer, it causes my screen to go black and File Explorer doesn't open, with my curser still working. I have to use ctrl+alt+delete to restart my computer to get out of this issue. If I click on File Explorer while using another app firefox or Excel for example, I can still use them without any issue, but my home screen and taskbar have gone black, and when I exit the apps, I am back to my original issue. I have tried:Clearing File Explorer History - issue pursistsLaunching folder windows in a separate process - my screen doesn't go black when I click on File Explo

    Black File Explorer

    We suggest that you start your PC in Safe mode and see if File Explorer still shows a black image when you access your files. Safe Mode would help isolate the issue by starting Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It may help
    distinguish what's causing the issue, if the problem does not happen in Safe Mode, then we'll know that the default settings does not cause the issue.

    You may start your PC in Safe Mode by following the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
    • Select Update & security > Recovery.
    • Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
    • After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select
      Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings
      > Restart.
    • After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4
      or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode.
