  1. Unable to open File Explorer when Connected to Wi-Fi


    I am unable to access file explorer when I am connected to Wi-fi. However, if I disconnect from Wi-Fi I am able to access it by clicking on the File Explorer Icon or Pressing the Windows key + E.In order to open file explorer I have to first click on recycle bin and then select the folders C or D,I have tried uninstalling the antivirus and done certain checks including the sfc /scannow and it did show some errors and files missing but it is unable to correct it. I have also reinstalled my Windows 11 but all in vain as none of it has yielded any result.Can someone please help me

    :)
