    File picker UI pops up and freezes page

    Hi,

    The PickerHost.exe (File Picker UI Host) is a system hidden file that is usually located in the %SYSTEM% folder.

    For us to better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    • Are you randomly getting the pop-up message or you're only getting it when browsing the web?
    • Can you send us a screenshot of the File picker UI pop-up?
    • Which browser are you using?
    • On which version of Windows 10 is your device running?

    If you're randomly getting the pop-up message, and your screen freezes, there's a possibility that this issue is being caused by a corrupted system file, try running the
    System File Checker tool to scan and repair missing or corrupted system files
    on Windows 10.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    file picker ui freezes my computer

    Every time that I try to attach a file to an email message I get a message "File picker UI is not responding" and my computer freezes. I ran a full scan on Windows Defender and it showed no problems. I have tried using both Microsoft Edge and Internet
    Explorer to access my aol email account. I have the same problem accessing files either way.

    On a hunch I tried to attach files using a gmail account that I rarely use and I was able to attach files to a message on that account. But 99.9% of my email correspondence is with my aol account, so I really need to be able to attach files to my aol messages.

    Windows 10 is my operating system and it has been working well for me since I upgraded last year. This "File picker" problem is a recent development that started about a week ago.

    I am not very technically proficient, but if you can provide me with explicit instructions/suggestions on how to correct this problem, I am up to the task. Please help!
