    It starts but won't open a window on the desktop. Just happened, so I restarted (had to wait for an update to be installed*Mad), then after the restart, it still won't open, click the icon on the task bar, keystroke flag+E, click the icon on the start menu. The task bar shows all 3 windows and when I hover the mouse I see all three, the won't open.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    My file explorer won't open

    Original Title: File Explorer

    My file explorer won't open. When I click on it, the screen goes black for a second and then it's back to the desktop. I've restarted the computer and no difference, I've opened the properties window for file explorer and reset defaults but it still won't
    open.

  5. Long shot here.. right click your desktop and click on Display Settings. See if you have an extra screen in the setup there. A while back I had an extra one appear and it hid a couple programs on there.

    It seems I've had a momentary brain lapse, my desktop is a laptop with an external monitor and I use the laptop monitor once in a while as an extended screen, and my laptop turns on the extended screen once in a while and that's where my file explorers were hiding.

    I really appriciate your reply!
