    New update: can't open file explorer


    My OS updated automatically last night. This morning I am unable to open my file explorer. I tried opening via task manager but I just get a blank screen. I then tried to check for updates in settings but my settings keeps crashing. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue or know what may be going on here?

    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

    'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


    I just submitted this suggestion on Windows Uservoice:

    The idea: the right-click menu for folders in File Explorer has an option called 'Open in new window', which opens that folder in a new File Explorer window. Very useful for copying and moving things, and opening destination folders without accessing the start menu a second time.

    'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


    Is this a weird joke/troll?

    That feature has been in Explorer since at least Windows 7...
