    Windows 10 PC has had a hard time restarting itself.


    Hello,A most bizarre event happened to my home computer. I started it up as usual, nothing unusual happened, started a common application I use to play games that I have used for years Steam and the game wouldn't start. I then tried starting another, less resource intensive game, it took a long time to start, around 5 minutes. Normally it doesn't take 1 minute even, way less than that.

    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 Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
