    Files Explorer Crashes Upon Opening a Specific Folder

    File explorer crashing on specific folders

    I'm having issues with the file explorer, I can open open folders such as downloads as long as it's clicking on them directly, this way I can access various folders that I have on my desktop BUT the file explorer doesn't respond as soon as I try to enter
    to basic folders like documents, computer, images and if I try to open the file explorer alone it appears to be loading but it crashes either way. Also, just yesterday I had a problem with a virus, I had to scan my computer and so far this was the only problem
    that was left after that scan. Help?
