Windows 10: Opening File Explorer causes WiFi to cut out

As said in the title, whenever I open File Explorer, my WiFi signal will cut for around 5 seconds. I don't know much of the reasoning why this is. I am using a TP-Link Archer T4E Connected through PCIe, with the latest drivers, and using a 5G WiFi signal.

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
