    Windows 10 20H2 File Explorer intermittently flashes and hiccups whole laptop


    Recently updated my computers - custom desktop, Microsoft Surface Pro 4, and Lenovo ThinkPad T480 - from Windows 10 1909/2004 to 20H2.


    The ThinkPad laptop now gets intermittent but frequent seizures to various system aspects; the whole desktop GUI may freeze, some unknown windows menu bar flash into ephemeral existence, some windows browser or video player become unresponsive, mouse cursor goes missing, and from my observations, it seems to be related to Windows/File Explorer because its folder pane scroll baralways flashes when it happens. Once the flashing stops, the system resumes regular pace.


    That visual clue seems to suggest that File Explorer is doing some sort of multiple blanket refresh on all the filesystem nodes and perhaps exacerbated by SMB connections to multiple computers in the network?


    Anybody else experiencing such hiccups?

    :)

    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

    Using Windows 10 File Explorer To Back Up iTunes With A Flash Drive

    Hi all,

    I bought a 128 GB flash drive to back up my entire iTunes playlist using the Windows 10 File Explorer, and I want to confirm the steps I plan to take.....

    Go to File Explorer and select Music / iTunes / iTunes Music. Plug in the flash drive. Drag the iTunes Music file to the flash drive.

    Correct?

    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 Windows 10 20H2 File Explorer intermittently flashes and hiccups whole laptop :p
