    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

    Unable to move files in Windows

    Windows 10 - Unable to open many files, task manger, etc.

    Hi Andrew,



    I appreciate you for performing troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.



    I will certainly help you with the issue you are experiencing in accessing files, apps and task manager on your computer.



    This issue might occur, if the system files are corrupt.



    Provide us the additional information to assist you better with this issue:


    • What kind of files you are unable to open?

    • Which apps you are unable to open?


    Please follow below mentioned methods to fix the issue:



    Method 1:



    I would suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type
      sfc/scannow
      and press enter.

    • Restart the computer.

      If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing
      Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

    Method 2:

    I would suggest you to
    create a new user account
    and check if that helps.



    Refer to the Link given below.

    Please get back to us, if you are still facing issue
    in accessing files, apps and task manager on your computer.

    Thank you.
