Windows 10: Windows explorer restarts

Hi all, had to register to see if this is happening to anyone else. Ive had a quick search and couldnt find anything. My problem is, since i updated to Windows 10 21H1, almost every time i click a task bar icon, the taskbar goes blank for a second or two then comes back to normal, it feels like windows explorer is restarting. I have quite a few icons on my task bar and have never had this happen before. This can be quite annoying when tabbing in and out of games or re maximizing certain items on taskbar. Has this happened to anyone else or could itr be a coincidence that this started happening since the update? Thank you

:)

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!?).
