    File explorer

    Actually the problem remains but I can get around it. When I left click "File Explorer" the window comes up with the message "working on it" and after a few seconds " File Explorer(Not Responding)". But if I right click, amenu appears with the list of the
    most recent & frequent files/folders I have opened. I just left click on any of the files/folders listed and I opened it and can then navigate thru all my folders and files. I am pretty illiterate in IT issues. I leave to you, the IT wizards, to figure it
    out. Kept your suggestion in a special forlder for future use. Thanks again.

    FIle Explorer not Internet Explorer in Windows 10

    Hi Calvin,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As you said that you are not able to open File Explorer, could you please provide the following information to understand the subject better.

    • How are you accessing File Explorer?
    • What happens when you open file Explorer?
    I suggest you to press the Windows key + E to directly open File Explorer.

    Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you have any other queries pertaining to Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.

    Regards.
