Windows 10: Not able to open D:/ drive folders. Slow/unresponsive/ crashes and always have to force...

I've been having trouble accessing my D:/ drive since I performed a reset of my computer following it being very unresponsive and in an attempt to fix it, reinstalled the whole Windows and did a reset while preserving personal data. And since my SSD is only 118GB and even after reset only 50GB was remaining, I changes my Download location to D:/ drive. But I haven't been able to access the folders and the laptop has become very slow and unresponsive to commands and takes around 5-20 mins to respond to a click of a folder . And even sometimes when I do manage to open other folders in my D drive

I am not able to open favorites folder or sub folders under it in EDGE browser

Hi Rodney,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  Did you checked whether you are able to see the favorite’s folder under your users?
  
• 
  Are you able to see the Favorites bar on EDGE browser?
  
• 
  Does the EDGE browser close/crashes only when you try to open the favorites folder or any other scenarios?
  

Note: By default the favorite’s folder will be present under your user’s folder. Follow the below steps to check if you are able to view the favorites.

• Open the ‘C’ drive on your computer. If your OS is installed on any other drive, open that one.
• Under the ‘Users’ section, locate the name of your system’s main admin account and open its folder.
• Locate the folder named ‘favorites’ and open it. In short, the path for this folder becomes as follows (assuming the system drive to be ‘C’ and your account name to be ‘Hamza’).
  
  C:\users\hamza\favorites\

I suggest you to refer to the section Import favorites in the below link on how to Import favorites in Internet Explorer.

Use favorites to save websites you like

Note: You may try to browse to the favorite’s folder as suggested in the above steps if the favorite’s folder is present.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

Windows Media Player - All library folders on D: now unresponsive


Hello All, first post, so please be gentle.

I have performed a clean install of Windows 10 Pro onto a new HDD I put into my desktop PC, with all my media still on a separate 1TB HDD D: drive.

I've subsequently organised the shared folders on my D: drive into the appropriate media library's in Windows Media Player, however, when I view the media library on my PlayStation 3, the D: drive folders aren't displayed.

Now when I view the various library's in Windows Media Player, all the D: folders are shown as "unresponsive". I've tried removing and re-adding the folders and re-building the library, but that didn't help. If I add a folder on the C: drive, no problem, but any folder I add from the D: drive shows as unresponsive.

I did some Google searching, and made sure they were being indexed, which they weren't, however, when clicking "modify" and "show all locations", D: doesn't show up as an available drive to index.

I've thought about un-mounting and then re-mounting D: drive, but have no idea whether that would help or not, so it's over to you guys for help.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Cheers.
