Windows 10: How do I stop File Explorer from Loading when I boot up in Windows 10?

Whenever I boot up, File Explorer opens. Very annoying. Searched the internet, discovered thousands of people have this problem, several solutions offered, but none of them worked for me. Can anyone help?


Thanks,

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

File explorer slow/Never loading solution

I would have never thought of this -
This DOES stop the lag with explorer, and does not seem to have any adverse effect on anything that I normally use.
Thank you for solving the problem... AND sharing the solution with us
