    File Explorer - Working on it


    I'm a Windows Insider (build 18351)


    Since a few months, file manager is behaving very badly. It takes up to ten or more minutes to build up the Quick Access list.

    Pictures folders often show white thumbs, green bar keeps rolling without success. Restarting the PC usually helps of half on hour but then the problem reappears.


    Makes normal work almost impossible. Tried all tricks like suppressing Quick Access, sfc /scannow, DISM, reinstalling ISO, Reset and Repair others to no avail. I see others on the Feedback Hub suffering from similar problems.


    Will the April 19H1 release solve my problem???

    :)

  2. File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

    File explorer

    Hi Mick,

    I am sorry to know that the File Explorer is not working on the Taskbar.

    I suggest you to right-click on it to unpin it from the task bar.

    Then search for File Explorer in Search. Then right-click on it to Pin it to Taskbar.

    If the issue persists, try the steps below.


    • Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator.

    • Type the following 4 commands at the Command prompt:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    powershell

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


    • Close the CMD window.

    • Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.
    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
