Windows 10: Windows Explorer not loading properly

Hi, I am currently facing issues with my Windows Explorer whereby it doesn't load properly. The bar will remain green for very long and my file icons do not show. I would like to request for help on how I should go about resolving this issue. Last I remember when my Windows Explorer was working just fine before this issue came up was when I tried to download an 8 hour long video from Youtube using y2mate. This issue has been ongoing ever since. I know that there are a lot of sites with methods to resolve this issue, but I am unsure of which one to follow and I do not want to risk any further i

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
