    Windows Explorer freezes when I try to select multiple files in a folder


    In Windows 10 Explorer when I select a file and then try to select another using the CTRL key or several others using the Shift key Windows Explorer immediately displays a "not responding" message in the top bar. I've tried running the File and Folder Troubleshooter several times with no luck. Very frustrating!

    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

    Windows Explorer freezes when I try to select multiple files in a folder

    Windows 10 file explorer: Is it possible to do a search selecting multiple folders?

    Hi,

    The problem is to do one
    search (i.e. one
    filename) on multiple folders.

    For example, if I connect:

    • Pendrive 1 with a folder "images" (e:\images\)
    • Pendrive 2 with a folder "photos" (f:\photos\)
    And then I want to do one
    search for files like *home* in both folders.

    Is it possible to do this in file explorer (windows 10)?

    Thanks!
