  1. File Explorer crashes immediately upon opening, can't access files


    Video showing problemAs shown in the video, I can't seem to access my files as File Explorer just doesn't work. I had to install another app to access some files but I just want File Explorer back. Any suggestions?I've already tried sfc scan, anti-virus check, changing file explorer options, clearing cache.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 File Explorer closes immediately after opening. (Not Crashing)

    Looks like my account was suspended for some reason, but anyhow, after some careful observation I noticed that if the default view is set to quick access, the explorer window closes immediately. I'm only guessing as to why, but I'm assuming that the shortcut
    that quick access is trying to display is somehow invalid in some way and causes explorer to close.

    I was able to access explorer without closing by either opening a run prompt or directly typing into the cortana/search box "C:\" and pressing enter. Explorer now opens with it's focus on the C: drive instead of the quick access listing in the folder tree.
    Open folder options, and change the "Open File Explorer to:" option to
    [This PC].

    Quick Access is still not working, so if you change your focus to the root folder, explorer will still crash.

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile File Explorer crashes immediately upon opening, can't access files :)
