    File explorer not responding

    Hi Microsoft users,

    I have the same problem that many users of Windows 10 faced: File explorer not responding.

    Mine stop responding whenever I select any of the Office files (Powerpoint, Excel, Word) but not other file types (pdf, jpg etc).

    Anyone have encountered similar problem and know the fix to solve this issue. Interim period, I will open the file through the office applications. Really inconvenient.

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,

    CT

    File explorer not responding

    Hello CT,

    This can be an issue related to your Office applications. Have you tried re-installing these applications and see if the issue persists? Refer to this support article on how to

    download and install or reinstall Office 365 or Office 2016 on a PC or Mac    .

    This can also be an issue with your default program association for your files. I advise that you reset it to recommended defaults to fix the issue. Kindly follow these steps:

    1. On the Start menu, select Settings.
    2. Select Apps > Default apps.
    3. Under the Reset to the Microsoft recommended detaults option, click the
      Reset button.

    Check if the issue still persists, if so, kindly boot your system in clean boot state. This could be related to a program or utility running automatically in the background that is causing the issue. You may refer to
    this support article for the steps on how to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

    Why File Explorer not responding when I selected on Microsoft Office?

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Why File Explorer not responding when I selected on Microsoft Office? wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
