Windows 10: My network drops for a few seconds when I open File Explorer

[COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]So, I searched for solutions online but nothing helped. Basically when I open file explorer or open any kind of mini window to maybe upload or download a file, my internet drops for a few seconds and comes back up. Weather I am on a online meet or anything like that, if I open explorer of any kind the call drops and connects again after a few seconds. I am connected on WIFI and there's no such problem on any of my other device which is connected to the same network doesn't matter if it is a mobile or laptop.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]I tried looking into task manager and performance monitor but could not find anything useful from there. Do help me for the same ![/COLOR]

windows 10 file explorer opens for a split second then crashes

This problem occurs if I try opening any folder or file explorer itself for example:

• an existing file folder with files in it that is on my desktop,
• opening the file explorer from the taskbar (I have since unpinned it as this was suggested as a fix in some forums)
• opening file explorer using the start menu
• opening file explorer using the windows key + E

In each case the explorer dialogue box will pop up momentarily then disappear again (perhaps a second or 2 sometimes, other times just a flash.)

So far I have tried:

• ensuring that windows 10 is totally up to date
• run the sfc scannow - this came up with no error found
• made sure that the settings for file explorer were set to opening at 'this pc'

I am absolutely out of ideas. Can someone please help?

 

File explorer will not open on windows 10

In this case, it's possible that the File Explorer is set to open an incorrect/corrupted file location. To rule out folder path related issues, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Type Control Panel in the search box. From the search result, click
  Control Panel.
• Select Small icons from the View by: drop-down list located on the top right side of the window.
• Select File Explorer Options.
• Under the General tab, select This
  PC from the Open File Explorer to: drop-down list.
• Click OK.

Once you're done, open File Explorer again and check if the issue persists.

Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.

 

Open File Explorer with pre-defined directory?

Welcome to TenForums @clsven

First, pin File Explorer to the task bar. You can then click and drag a folder (such as Videos) and drop it on the File Explorer icon to pin it to File Explorer. The list of pinned folders can be accessed by right-clicking on the File Explorer icon. Select a folder from the list and you will open File Explorer at that folder. This is the same list of pinned folders that you will see in File Explorer's Quick Access.
