  1. Windows explorer is behaving very strange


    A few weeks ago I started having problems with the explorer. One day it started lagging a lot, freezing and stuff. Then, every time I selected a file it would completely freeze but not showing "Not responding". Later, I stopped having this problem but after a few days I had it again. Now it just freezes, most of the time it doesn't open, when I open file from a program it freezes and I can't use the program either, because the windows is stuck, it freezes when I click anything, it lags in general and it slows down my computer when I try to use it. Overall, I just have perfomance problems with it.


    I've tried everything. I restarted my computer, I hard reset it many times, I did the sfc /scannow and dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, I checked for viruses, I killed explorer.exe, but nothing works. It may be because it's already 3 years old but my other computers don't have this problem.


    It's very annoying, at least not all the time the open file freezes, but everytime I want to open something, I have to open a program, open a file, and right clicking from there. I'm worried because I might need to start backing up files and this is annoying to do that.

    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

    Keyboard behaves strange on windows 10

    Hi.

    I'm using Windows 10 and today I noticed that when I press the alt button it behaves very strange. For example when I press alt button when chrome is active windows first time it types "\ g" and in address bar activates google search. Second time I press alt
    button it writes "0\ " band makes chrome full screen. If I press the alt button two times in row it opens a Ctrl+alt+delete menu, but when I press Ctrl+alt+delete system doesn't react. Sometimes it opens a new chrome windows or opens "Save as..." dialog box.

    When I click on desktop and press left alt button start menu opens, but right alt button does nothing.

    When i press left alt button on "File Explorer" sometimes it opens Ctrl+alt+delete menu, sometimes makes "File Explorer" full screen, when pressing the right one steps on folders, or opens new "File Explorer" window.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards Andranik
