Windows 10: Intermittent Folder issue

My clean install of Windows 10 intermittently forgets what a folder is. It also constantly resets the default program settings at random times, removing all my settings to default. After I set my defaults, usually about 20 minutes late it resets them all back to default. I believe the two issues may be linked.


At least once per day, usually more often, when I try to open a folder, it gives no response. Occasionally it gives an "internal error" message. At first I had thought it was a double click issue so I got into the habit of right clicking and choosing "Open" in the context menu. However, often when it doesn't open, the open option is not in the context menu. I have had it cycle through different context menus within seconds of each other as I right click over and over hoping it remembers what a folder is. Today I clicked on one folder and had no Open, then clicked on another folder in the same tree where it showed the correct menu, then clicked back on the first folder only to have the wrong menu again.


I'm including three screenshots to show what I mean. I took a picture of my screen instead of snipping in case that changed the results.










All 3 of them are folders in the same folder. The first one displays the wrong menu, the other two show the correct one. After these three I tried the first folder again and got the correct menu that time. This is frustrating as hell as sometimes it can be up to 5 minutes of me trying to open the folders before the correct context items will finally appear.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
