    Searching and attaching files in Gmail File explorer HELP??


    Has anyone had this issue in Gmail and can you help. When I am in Gmail and go to attach a file. The file explorer comes up , but when I try and search for a file. It Types the wrong letters in not allowing you to search correctly. I have windows 10. This only occurs in Gmail.


    If I go to file explorer and just try and search for a file outside gmail. The typing and search works fine. Help

    :)

    File Explorer not responding, especially when trying to attach Word file to Gmail

    I have a problem attaching Office files to a Gmail email. When I create an email in Gmail running in Chrome and try to attach a Word or Excel file from my documents folder, the attach process freezes and I see the message Open (Not Responding) in the File
    Explorer window. I then have to close Chrome and restart it. The issue is sporadic but has been getting much worse in the last few days.

    I sometimes get the same problem just in File Explorer; as soon as I select an Office document File Explorer freezes and see <path> Not Responding.

    I get the same issue running Gmail in Edge.

    PDFs, JPGs etc attach OK.

    Switching off the preview pane seems to help in File Explorer (I don’t know if it is completely solved) but not in Gmail attach.

    Sfc/scannow run in safe mode gave this report:

    “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

    For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.”

    I have run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, ScanHealth and RestoreHealth with no problems reported.

    I am running Windows 10 and my installation is up to date (May 19, 2019—KB4505064 (OS Build 17134.766) - applies to: Windows 10, version 1803. C: has 236GB fee space

    I would appreciate specific help on the next steps.

    File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.
