Windows 10: Microsoft Apps Freeze Explorer

I've had this issue for a while and not sure what it is but..When I have my preview or details pane viewable in File Explorer and I click any kind of Microsoft Document like Word or Excel, the window freezes.The window freezes and eventually I have to restart Explorer. Now this only happens when the preview window is on. When it is not. I can click or touch the Word doc no problem.Any idea what is causing this?I am on Windows 11 22621.2283 but this was an issue when it was Windows 10.

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
