    Windows 10 does not want to restart nor switch-off and my Windows Explorer gets blocked


    Hi,

    Since a couple of days I realized that my Windows 10 Family (version 1809 (17763.529) will not restart nor switch-off (apart from "hard" swtich-off) and my Windows Explorer gets blocked. When I click on the top folder with all my files (note: I'm using two OneDrives but only one for storing my files) Windows Explorer freezes.

    I can only send my Dell laptop to sleep. The hardware check did not return any faults.

    Any recommendations?

    :)

    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

    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!?).
