  1. svchost.exe creates Folder "Program Files" on ALL my drives!


    The title says it all: After every reboot, I see the "Program Files" folder on all my hard drive partitions. No matter how often I delete them. The owner of the folder is "SYSTEM". I can't say exactly since when it has been like this. However, I didn't have the problem with Win 10. System is completely reinstalled. However, I uninstalled OneDrive etc right away. Otherwise, Steam, Epic and EA are on it. But I haven't set any such installation paths for them. I downloaded a few more programs via the Ms-Store, but the installation path only goes to C: What I got from the store: TranslucentTB EarT

    :)

    RAM Died: svchost error

    svchost is part of the OS, it just interacts with other aspects.

  3. why does the file explorer closes everytime a folder with exe programs is opened. an error

    Hi

    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately it did not work.

    The MS support walked thru similar steps, we even reinstalled, deleted the folder but with no resolution.

    It is strange because this happens specifically on folders that have .exe programs. I can access other folders.

    The programs within the directory are listed and about 20 seconds later it closes.

    regards

    Dorian

    Map a network drive folder to my video library

    To Include folders using Manage Library Tools, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

    • In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.
    • Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
    • Click on the Add button
    • Browse to and select a folder or drive that you want to include in this library, and click on the Include folder button.
    • When finished, click/tap on OK.
    Keep us updated with the result.
