Windows 10: Windows Explorer Peaks and momentarily bricks my PC

So currently I'm running a Ryzen 7 3700X with 32 GB RAM at ~2000 MHz Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite running a ASUS 2060 and my machine will periodically be bricked by windows explorer seemingly taking up all my compute resources. This goes away when I close windows explorer through the task manager and immediately comes back again when I reload explorer. I've tried changing accounts I've looked for invisible shortcuts and I've messed around in the registry a little very very little because I didn't want to risk busting the registry literally nothing works to fix the problem. I've been dealing with this silliness since this windows install was on different hardware and there's seemingly nothing I can do.


Please help.

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!?).
