    Immediate closing of Windows Explorer.


    When I try to open Windows Explorer running Windows 10 the file opens for a few seconds and then closes. I have turned off / on with and without unplugging everything. I have run sfc/scannow . The computer is a couple of years old and I have not had any problems like this with it. I have not added any new programs. I have updated quality antivirus software. Can anyone advise me on what to do next? Thank you C.

    :)

    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

    Windows 10 File Explorer closes immediately after opening. (Not Crashing)

    Looks like my account was suspended for some reason, but anyhow, after some careful observation I noticed that if the default view is set to quick access, the explorer window closes immediately. I'm only guessing as to why, but I'm assuming that the shortcut
    that quick access is trying to display is somehow invalid in some way and causes explorer to close.

    I was able to access explorer without closing by either opening a run prompt or directly typing into the cortana/search box "C:\" and pressing enter. Explorer now opens with it's focus on the C: drive instead of the quick access listing in the folder tree.
    Open folder options, and change the "Open File Explorer to:" option to
    [This PC].

    Quick Access is still not working, so if you change your focus to the root folder, explorer will still crash.
