Windows 10: File Explorer stuck in "working on it"

2 days ago my laptop did a Windows update. The current version in Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.19041, Build 19041. Now, File Explorer no longer works. For the last 10 minutes it displays "working on it" and the progress bar at the top continues to grow to the right, but no results are shown in the file explorer pane. What gives?

Window 10 file explorer stuck

Hi Deepika,

Thanks on your help

I try all three suggestion but unfortunately the problem remain.

It is look the explorer stuck when I right clicking on file letter or try to past file.

Some details on the steps:

Step 1: When the Task manager is open no Window Explorer task exist. Clicking on File Explorer under Start menu window, bring Window Explorer task. Than I End the task using task manager and reopen the task by Run New Task in the task manger. The Window
Explorer task is appeared in the Task manger and on the screen window. Right clicking on the disk letter the Explorer was stuck again.

Step 2: I run the checkdisk on disk C (contains the Window) without /f and get report all is OK

Step 3: I run the Memory diagnostic. After long waiting time a report OK is received.

Any other suggestion will be appreciate

Thank

Naftali
