Windows 10: Windows 10 Windows Explorer Hangs

I've had this problem for a long time where the Windows Explorer on my machine hangs every 50 - 60 seconds. It makes it hard to type, like this description for example, or papers for school. I also notice that it causes my games to lag as well. It only hangs for a brief second and becomes increasingly worse to about 1.5 - 2 seconds max. The only way to lessen the impact is to open the task manager and restart Windows Explorer. I do this just about every time I log on. But the hanging still happens, but to only about 0.5 - 1 second. Also, my CPU usage spikes to about 18% from only 1% during i

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 ?




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!?).
