Windows 10: File explorer crashes during file copy-paste in Windows 10

Hi friends,

I am using Windows 10 on my laptop. The so-called Windows Explorer crashes right in the middle of a file move operation, leaving me with two corrupted parts of the same file. This SUCKS, I've experienced this many times before. Kindly tell me a solution to this...


BTW my PC specs copied from the "About" section in Settings are:


Device name DESKTOP-ME9SVTI

Processor IntelR CoreTM i3-6006U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz

Installed RAM 8.00 GB 7.79 GB usable

Device ID I think I should not show this

Product ID I think I should not show this

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display



Thanks!

:)

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

Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.
