    Let's further isolate your concern about the File Explorer. We'd like to gather additional information to resolve this issue. Please answer the following:

    • Did you install any recent application before this happened?
    • Have you tried clearing the history of the File Explorer? To do this, open File Explorer
      > View > Options > Change Folder and search options
      > Privacy > Clear File Explorer History >
      Clear > OK.

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the netsh and winsock reset as an initial troubleshooting step to fix any network related issue that may be affecting your device. To do this, you may check these steps:

    • Type cmd in the search box > right-click Command Prompt >
      Run as administrator.
    • Type netsh in the Command Prompt > press Enter.
    • Type winsock in the Command Prompt > hit Enter.

    Let us know if the recommended solution works for you.

    Downloading and Opeening ePub eBook files

    Hi Mike,

    The file format may not be supported by the application that's why it cannot be opened. We suggest that you follow these steps to make sure that it can be opened via the application you wanted to use:

    • In File Explorer, right-click on the file you want to read.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click Change.
    • Then choose the application from the list.

    Please let us know how it goes.
