Windows 10: Had that big update recently and now Windows Explorer routinely freezes, making nothing...

For some dumb reason hitting CTRL ALT DEL wakes windows explorer back up. Otherwise nothing is clickable. This happens at least once an hour. Is this a known issue, and is there a patch for it? Thank you for your time.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
