    Downloads folder not responding

    Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3324) My Downloads folder is not responding, it just has a spinning circle & says "working on it". After a long time, I have to shut it down through Task Manager. I had this problem maybe 6 months ago & fixed it using SFC. This time I ran SFC where it found & repaired corrupted files, but the Downloads folder still didn't respond. So I ran SFC again & it found no integrity violations. What is the next step in fixing the Downloads folder problem? Do I need to run DISM? If so, should I backup my computer before doing this? Please give specific instructions, as I'm not a "computer person". Thanks very much!

    Download folder not responding

    I recently tried to download a video and since then I can't open the Download folder. I want to delete the file which I suspect must be corrupt, but every time I open the Downloads folder, it says "working on it" and the Download folder is "Not responding".
    I'd like to delete all the contents of the folder.

    Any suggestions?
