    Windows 11 file explorer hangs severly and crashes


    I've searched all the threads and tried all the fixes and none work.Symptoms are when renaming files the folder will hang up for 10 minutes not respondingCan't copy or move more than one directory at a time. Sometimes it copies one directory, sometings it crashes. Renaming or copying a file often crashes all of the file explorer windowsWhen I return to copying the directory it will crash if there is already a directory with the same name should be able to handle that.This has been happening for 6 months and I actually move stuff to a W10 computer to work file explorer. Sad. A lot of peop

    Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

    So I downloaded project reality a mob for BF2 I used uTorrent to download the file and it check to make sure it wasnt corrupt.

    Everytime I try to do anything with the file windows explorer hangs and I have to restart it.

    This is the same for the old version of project reality. I cannot delete it.

    I have never had this happen.

    The files in question are 1.8 GB

    Windows explorer crashing

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
    Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

    I have tried the fixes listed in the above thread and I am getting the same error message as 'ktadie' (post 16). I think this is because I am running Windows 7 Professional. Windows explorer crashes when I open my 'Films' folder on my brand new 2tb external HDD. I have about 300 .avi files in this folder and some of the .avi files are several years old.

    In short I believe I need the same fix given by 'Wile E' (post 7) but updated for Windows 7 Professional.

    Thanks in advance.
