    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the file explorer stops responding. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    This issue may arise when some of the Windows components or applications gets corrupted. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the explorer issue.

    • Press Alt+ctr+Del from Desktop.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under process tab, locate Windows Explorer.
    • Right Click Windows Explorer and select End Task.
    • Now select on File tab and click Run Task.
    • Type explorer.exe and press ok.
    • Check if the issue persists.
    If the issue persists, I suggest you to
    perform SFC scan and check if it helps to resolve the issue.



    System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Microsoft Windows that allows users to scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Perform System File Check (SFC), and then check if this fixes the issue.


    • Press the Windows button + X on your keyboard, a mini dialogue box will appear.

      2. Choose Command Prompt (Admin). You must run the command prompt in Administrator level.

      3. On the command prompt type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

      4. If everything went okay and no errors were found, restart your computer and see if the issue re-occurs.
