Windows 10: Folder and Apps does not open it just loads and nothing happens

I am having problem in opening folder like in D drive and apps like Control Panel. When I try to open these apps, it just shows loading cursor for about 1 sec constantly blinking. I tried what I found on internet but I didn't find exactly what happened in my case. And I cannot provide photo evidence as it does not display any error message.

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

 

File Explorer hangs and loads files one by one when open folder

Thanks for the further suggestions guys. I'm going to save the in-place upgrade as a last resort, but I'll keep it in my back pocket.

An interesting development - per the advice of a Microsoft representative, I deleted the following registry folders:

• \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
• \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags

The files no longer load one by one when I open a folder. Unfortunately though the freeze still happens for about the same amount of time. Here's a new video:


I can confirm that the freezing issue only happens in folders containing .wav files. The more .wav files in a folder, the longer it hangs when I open it. Other folders, even massive ones filled with 10GB+ of .mov files, still load almost instantly when I open them.

Any ideas about why the .wav files might be causing this?

Random thought - I have VLC set as my default player for .wav files. Could this possibly have something to do with VLC?

 

Split Steam app folder between 2 HDD?

As the title suggests I want to find out if there's a way I can split my steam app folder on to 2 drives, specifically an SSD that I will be putting my OS and most used games and apps and a regular HDD for everything else?
