    Windows 10 cannot open any Documents or programs all of a sudden.


    When I click on any file I get a message Saying "Windows cannot find the file ......" . I can open Photos only. I cannot open programs ie Word excel. This was all fine 2 days ago. I ran a virus scan to see if this was the issue but all good there.


    I would appreciate any help on this.

    :)

    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

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.

    Windows 10 cannot open any Documents or programs all of a sudden.

    Windows boots, My Documents auto opens. WTF?

    That was going to be my first suggestion. *Toast :toast:
