Windows 10: File Explorer problem

Hello, my most daily task is editing and checking a lot of multimedia files; most of them are audio files, but my Windows Explorer, after checking a few files, is getting frozen and dumped. Every task that I opened is working normally, only the taskbar and the "windows" are frozen, and I can't Alt+Tab to switch to another app. I can't delete the dump file, it's always stuck. I've tried to restart, but it's still the same after checking a few files. I need another way to fix or restart ALL THE FILE EXPLORER because I've tried every way that I can find on the internet, even killing it with Termi

:)

File Explorer not responding problem.

Try this steps because I think it's related with quick access in file explorer:

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

Now it should hopefully work fine.
