    FILE EXPLORER KEEPS ON "NOT RESPONDING"


    I have new Acer laptop, then on my first day of using, File Explorer was good. But when I was using it on the next day, every time I open it, it keeps on "Not Responding", I couldn't even click Quick Access, Documents, Downloads and etc. and I couldn't use it all day long. Even up until now it keeps not responding.


    These are the things that I did:


    - Restart the PC (no matter how many times)

    - Restart File Explorer on Task Manager (no matter how many times)

    - No matter how many times I've searched on google but still it won't work


    Hope anyone could help. Thank you!

    :)

  2. File Explorer Not Responding

    Hi,

    I am following very clear instructions online in order to fix File Explorer Not Responding on my brand new computer. Instructions I am following are at this link: https://www.****/knowledge/windows-10-file-explorer-wont-open-solved/

    I can get as far as Step 4 where I try to right click on Quick Access within the File Explorer but because it is Not Responding this action does not work and I have to close File Explorer.

    Does anyone have suggestions for how to get around this when File Explorer is Not Responding?

    Alternatively, should I consider storing larger files in a different drive of the computer?

    A little background: I have had this computer that came loaded with Windows 10 for about 1 month. The File Explorer would not respond when I first started using it (transferring in new files), and again recently when I have tried saving several (large) design
    files from Illustrator. This may be the culprit for it's bogging down; either that or perhaps because I just deleted 1000's of emails off of gmail? My text display size is at 100%.

    Thank you.

    ps I am not very computer savvy so please dumb down your responses!

    Hi Saeef,



    Please reply, did you try the steps suggested above?

    If the issue persists, scan the PC for the presence of virus/malware by running the antivirus security software. Run the antivirus security software twice to detect and confirm the presence of malware/virus on your PC. Check for the status of the scan
    to view the presence of virus/malware.

    Thank you.
