  1. Why do apps restart explorer?


    Here's some context;

    I didn't install a update to my PC yesterday or today.

    This problem only occurred today.

    I turned on my computer and went to the first browser I found; Opera GX

    and it restarted explorer. I tried again with File Explorer; same thing.

    I tried every app I found, and only Metro apps worked.

    :)

    Here's the steps to update EMUI 4.1.1 to 5.0 :
    • Download the EMUI 5.0(desired version) .zip file, and unzip it.
    • Place the .hwt file in the HWThemes folder from your phone.
    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!

  3. My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix

    Why do apps restart explorer?

    Windows 10 internet Explorer Crashes / Freezes after most recent update

    Hi,

    To assist you, kindly provide us additional information.

    • What update did you install?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    We suggest you to disable Internet Explorer from optional features and enable it again. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R on your keyboard, type optionalfeatures
      and hit OK.
    • Uncheck the checkbox with Internet Explorer 11 written against the box and restart your computer.
    • After restart, check the box in optionalfeatures and restart again. Then, launch IE.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks.
