Windows 10: File explorerfolder is not opening

Greetings


Whenever I try to open any folder on my laptop,it does not open/ close.It gets hanged.

Infact, when I right click the folder from the lower task bar, I see random files like


{6538D02D-4C80-435A-9346-54B4E0B428AB}C:\Users\****INTENTIONALLY HIDDEN\PICTURES\FEEDBACK



4 such file are there having different 22 digit codes but same address

C:\Users\****INTENTIONALLY HIDDEN\PICTURES\FEEDBACK



I think I have to some how stop these file from opening. This problem arose when I was seeing ACTIVATE WINDOWS message and was trying to activate it by trying system restore, it was taking more than 6 hours, hence I had to interrupt in between by force shutdown,Then again tried tried system restore but under UNDO type and from then this problem is there.

Morever, My activate windows problem has also not been resolved.


Please forward this message to appropriate resolving person.

Thanks for reading.
