    why does explorer remove all files then repopulate the screen


    When I open Windows Explorer in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, and click on an individual folder, the contents show in the right panel but immediately disappear and then reappear. See brief screen capture video. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h860a1icezkfsjq7f7xtn/explorer-fubar.mp4?rlkey=9xcpx514i1fay6v0zhye4i1sh&dl=0In addition, even when the screen populates the green bar at the top takes forever to complete

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS

    How can I remove this virus remnant?

    I was also going to suggest Autoruns.

    Check to make sure it isn't attaching itself to explorer. It should be the 3rd thing listed in Autoruns, the listing for the Shell. It should just be Explorer.exe. If it is anything else, that might be your problem.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
