  1. Window Explorer explorer.exe freezes on startup with two monitors connected


    I have two monitors one both 1080p one is 280hz connected with Display Port 1.2 the other is 144hz connected with DVI-D.

    If I have the Display Port monitor set as my primary display, windows explorer freezes when I start up my computer and log in, I then restart it in task manager and it works fine. If I have the DVI-D monitor set as my primary display it works fine, however if I change the DP monitor to my primary display windows explorer also freezes just like if I had restarted my computer with the DP monitor as my primary display.


    Everything works just fine if I only have one of them plugged in even if it is using DP.


    I have a NVIDIA GTX 970 using the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers, nothing changed. I am using Windows 10 Pro. Please ask for any more useful information.

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    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!?).

    Windows Explorer Replacement?

    I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue Window Explorer explorer.exe freezes on startup with two monitors connected :p
