    Problems with File Explorer


    Basically when I'm using File Explorer I cannot right click on any item to, for example, copy or open with. As soon as I right click 'not responding comes up' and File Explorer stops working. Doesn't matter how long I leave it nothing happens and I have to end the task via Task Manager.


    Am I doing something wrong?

    :)
