    File Explorer non-responsive to right click


    Windows 10 Pro


    No trouble viewing c drive. Right click it and File Explorer locks up. The wheel keeps circling. It will stop after a long while, but menu does not open.


    What to do?


    Edit: removed issue of mapped drives not appearing. They appear now.

    :)
