Windows 10: File Explorer keeps restarting every 30 seconds on Windows 11 dev version 23493

I recently updated my system to Windows 11 dev version 23493 and since then, the File Explorer process keeps restarting every 30 seconds. I have tried rebooting my system and running the sfc/scannow command on the cmd but it did not help. I have a video of the issue happening. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?https://youtu.be/cb8-pstY61A

Windows Copilot Preview

Back in May at the Build conference, we introduced Windows Copilot for Windows 11. In today’s flight we are offering an early look of Windows Copilot to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel via a controlled feature rollout. This first preview focuses on our integrated UI experience, with additional functionality coming down the road in future previews. To use Copilot in this flight you must have Windows Build 23493 or higher in the Dev Channel, and Microsoft Edge version 115.0.1901.150 or higher.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Shut Down Takes ~5 seconds, Restart Takes ~30 seconds

Hearsepilot, no that has nothing to do with it...

but omg noooo! I figured out half the problem! Cross my fingers I really hope I can turn Hibernate back on!!!


I turned off Hibernate using an Admin Command Prompt: powercfg -h off
and then I went to Start -> Restart ... and ooof! Less than 3 seconds did I see the Restarting screen with the spinning dots!!

Oh! I really hope I can turn on Hibernate!!! I use it sometimes!!!
Why is the "Restart" command looking at the Hibernate file?
I should do some research on that.

Cross my fingers. Let's hope I can turn Hibernate on again with no issue.

Posting back...
I figured out the issue.

First of all, I have no clue how any of this makes ANY logical sense at all...

So I use OldNewExplorer. Yet in that application, you can:



Yet I like my windows to show as simple as possible.
So I found a way to disable both the command bar and the ribbon.

This is what that looks like, which I love so much:



SO very nice and simple, AND I renamed the thing up there to say: Storage Drives

All of this was with the help at this link:
How to remove the ribbon and command bar in Windows 10 - Super User

Yet when I added this line: "<Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-44rp)"/>"
to the dll files for OldNewExplorer, somehow in someway, causes Windows' Restart command to look at the hiberfil.sys and the pagefile.sys (they get modified to the exact time that I restart the computer), yet Shutting Down the computer does not interfere at all.

Can anybody make any sense out of this???

(I currently disabled Hibernate, and disabled the Page File), so I can look at the "Restarting" screen for only 3 seconds instead of 1 minute & 54 seconds.



and a quick question:
Does anyone know if this applies to Windows 10:
