    File Explorer keeps crashing when I select a file


    Windows 10. Whenever I try to select a file in the File Explorer, it freezes for ~5 seconds although I did manage to select 3 files in quick succession on one occasion and then stops responding turns into a black screen. So far it never crashed on its own, just lingering on the black screen until I forcefully shut it down. This seems to only happen in local drive C:, which might be because it has ~2 GB of space left.Edit: This also occurs when accessing the folders using external programs such as WinRAR.Edit 2: After further testing, this only occurs with folders that have a large amount
