    File Explorer Glitching


    This has been going on for quite a while, but I'm finally frustrated enough to look for a solution. I'm trying to go through and delete files that I no longer need. Every time I scroll through the files on File Explorer, it keeps snapping back to an earlier file, making it impossible to complete this task. For instance, I'm working alphabetically through the files, and I'm at the "B" files and when I try to make my way down to "C" or later, it snaps back to the B files. If I try to click on a file, it mistakenly selects one of the earlier files in the folder. This happens even if I'm trying to view files that begin with a letter "later in the alphabet", like the letter "R". It snaps me back to to the earlier alphabetical folders, making it difficult to locate the file that I'm looking for. Anyone know of a fix for this?

    :)

  2. File Explorer Visual Glitch

    Hello,

    Let us isolate your concern by answering the questions below:

    • Have you made any changes to the computer software prior to this?
    • Have you tried to select a different file outside the File Explorer window to check if the issue persists?
    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a clean boot and check if the issue persists. If performing a clean
    boot
    on your device resolves your concern, it means that a third party software is causing the issue. We suggest that you uninstall or disable them. The steps on how to perform a clean
    boot
    are provided on this link.

    We are looking forward to your response.
