Hello fellas,Randomly my file explorer has been slow/not responding and the refresh/shut down have not been responding. When refresh/shut down does respond it’ll be a 10-15min delay.So far I’ve reset the system whilst keeping my files but the issues are still there.What are my options to resolve this?

File Explorer Not Responding

Hi,

I am following very clear instructions online in order to fix File Explorer Not Responding on my brand new computer. Instructions I am following are at this link: https://www.****/knowledge/windows-10-file-explorer-wont-open-solved/

I can get as far as Step 4 where I try to right click on Quick Access within the File Explorer but because it is Not Responding this action does not work and I have to close File Explorer.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to get around this when File Explorer is Not Responding?

Alternatively, should I consider storing larger files in a different drive of the computer?

A little background: I have had this computer that came loaded with Windows 10 for about 1 month. The File Explorer would not respond when I first started using it (transferring in new files), and again recently when I have tried saving several (large) design
files from Illustrator. This may be the culprit for it's bogging down; either that or perhaps because I just deleted 1000's of emails off of gmail? My text display size is at 100%.

Thank you.

ps I am not very computer savvy so please dumb down your responses!

 

Windows 10 File Explorer Not Responding

I have a Lenovo Yoga 730. I have OneDrive which is working well but File Explorer keeps “not responding” every time I try to move or copy files, sometimes even opening a file.

I also tried the steps on your page Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was ...) including scanhealth and restorehealth but now I get a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." when I try to open File Explorer Options (I was previously able to).

I'm still having the "not responding" issue.

I still have the issue with file explorer. It cannot open and cannot right click on any folder or This PC or Quick access. If I do all o above, my computer would not respond and refresh after 15 seconds
