  1. Windows explorer not opening windows 10


    Sometime back i noticed that windows explorer doesn't open in windows 10. When i click on my computer or any folder to open, desktop screen refreshes and it doesn't open after that. I have tried repairing windows, updating windows, reinstalling windows but none of this worked. I have done a full antivirus scan from different vendors as well from windows security center. I have tried every possible way to fix this issue apart from clean windows installation. Is there any other without doing clean windows installation.

    :)

    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!?).
