    File Explorer keeps opening new windows automatically if the laptop is charging Windows 10


    The File Explorer automatically opens a default window upon startup and then keeps adding new windows every 5-10 mins if the power adapter is plugged in.


    This does not occur if I boot the laptop in safe mode. I have also tried changing the Autoplay settings and scanning system files, as suggested on some forum threads, but to no avail.


    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Explorer Replacement?

    I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue File Explorer keeps opening new windows automatically if the laptop is charging Windows 10 :p
