Windows 10: The File Explorer is not functioning properly in my Windows 11. I can't figure out what...

Since a few days, I face a problem in my laptop while I tried to take screenshots by pressing "prt sc" Print Screen on my keyboard. The screen snipping tool doesn't open up and instead my cursor loses the ability to click. i.e. I am not able to click anywhere on my screen. Inorder to regain my ability to click, I need to open Task Manager using the keyboard shortcut and end the Screen Snipping Task.Pic AttachedMoreover, today I discovered that I am not able to open any folder present on my laptop. The File explorer just keeps on loading and just closes itself. This is very frustratin

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

Windows 11 File Explorer functionality

I am very disappointed with the lack of functionality with File Explorer with the new Windows 11. I use File Explorer for the purpose of exploring and sorting of files and folders and this is now no where as functional as for Window10 or earlier versions. I hope you reconsider your removal of the essential features. For this reason alone I will not be upgrading my desktop - I upgraded my laptop to 'test' and so far, not so good.
