    Why is Windows Explorer and other microsoft apps not working properly?


    I have begun to notice little things not working, such as the phone link isn't recognized and the windows explore will not launch when I click the radio button on the taskbar or press the windows key on the keyboard. I have tried searching through the computers apps and settings and what I have learned is my Microsoft software may have become altered in some way either by an update, ignorance on my part, or other means. When I try to restart the Windows explorer from the task manager, I receive the error:Windows cannot find'MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_1000.22700.102.0_x64_cw5n1h2txyewy'

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Why is Windows Explorer and other microsoft apps not working properly? 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!?).
     
  3. Windows Explorer Replacement?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
