    Windows Explorer non-responsive after Windows update


    Windows 11 updated itself the other day and since then I am unable to use Windows Explorer.It opens fine, but as soon as I click on a folder or drive, the progress bar freezes and it becomes non-responsive.Needless to say it's very difficult to use a computer when you can't access any of your files.

    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
