    Windows 10 - Windows Explorer always buffers


    80% of the time I right click, Windows Explorer will just load forever unless I click over and over until it restarts itself. Sometimes other basic functions stop working as well, and sometimes it even gets to the point where I can't even navigate my files as it loads nothing except for the folder and none of it's actual contents. I have to restart Windows Explorer several times just to do one simple task, and then have to do it again for another.


    Here's what I tried to fix the problem:

    • Scanning for viruses did nothing.
    • Restarting Windows Explorer only gives me that 20% chance for success again, and for a limited time.
    • Signing out and back in only does the same thing.
    • I used SFC /scannow on command prompt, even typing DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth was rendered absolutely useless when the problem starting happening again after less than a minute.

    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

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Windows 10 - Windows Explorer always buffers 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!?).
