    when I try to open an installer on file explorer it take a long time


    when I factory reset my laptop, it started having this problem. I have restarted it and factory reset it again. It would take long to install my browser and other stuff I use on a daily basis. When the program opens it has no problem at all. The following stuff under i have tried. * sfc /scannow* DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth* DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth* DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    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

    when I try to open an installer on file explorer it take a long time

    File explorer will not open on windows 10

    In this case, it's possible that the File Explorer is set to open an incorrect/corrupted file location. To rule out folder path related issues, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Type Control Panel in the search box. From the search result, click
      Control Panel.
    • Select Small icons from the View by: drop-down list located on the top right side of the window.
    • Select File Explorer Options.
    • Under the General tab, select This
      PC       from the Open File Explorer to: drop-down list.
    • Click OK.

    Once you're done, open File Explorer again and check if the issue persists.

    Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.
