Windows 10: File Explorer Network Error dialog

directories names containing ampersands are displayed incorrectly, i.e. :


Network Error


Windows cannot access \\server-name\R&T


You do not have permission to access \\server-name\RT. Contact your network administrator to request access.

Problem with Explorer and file dialogs

I'm having a problem with File Explorer and with file dialogs. It is similar to some of those reported here but also there are differences in some respects.

• Windows 10, up-to-date.
• Problem began after the February "patch Tuesday" update.
• Appears randomly--slightly less frequently since the March update, but still occurring. Sometimes when machine is first started.
• Symptoms are that File Explorer windows sit indefinitely saying "Working on it", same applies to file dialogs too.
• Also Google Chrome becomes very slow at loading web pages: > 5 minutes, but Edge is not affected.
• Restarting Explorer does NOT work, but restarting the computer does--BUT restarting takes much longer than usual, again >= 5 minutes.

Any suggestions? This computer came with Windows 10, so I cannot revert to an earlier version.

I have to say that Windows 10 is by far the least reliable version I've encountered. Even free, it isn't good value!
