    Windows 10 random (and rare) hang where explorer and other interfaces


    I'm running win 10 20H2, randomly but thankfully rarely, i run into this issue.I have an i9-10900k overclocked only to a mild 4.9ghz at 1.257v fixed in the bios, ram at 4000mhz (xmp). It was stress tested a few months ago and passed all tests.I havent had this happen but once or twice but each time it forces me to basically hit reset.This last instance i had netextender vpn running (which can be buggy in and of itself), i disconnected, then suddenly i couldnt open any new explorer instances, no cpu usage was going on so i killed all explorer.exe and tried to reopen explorer but it wouldnt come up.Felt to me like the hdd's werent responding basically, however i could open a command prompt and show directory contents on all my drives (all 4 are nvme). I checked event viewer, there were no issues that seemed related. After the reset i checked for smart errors on the drives, no issues there either.Has anyone ever ran into anything similar before?Thanks in advance

    :)

    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

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Windows 10 random (and rare) hang where explorer and other interfaces wie1.png


    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!?).
