  1. Windows Explorer Sluggish?


    I have this issue that's an everyday thing where sometimes when I right click my taskbar icons and no options except "file explorer" and "unpin from taskbar" pop up even though I have history and quick access pins I use daily. Sometimes it's just missing the menu extra options.


    Then another issue that's been quite annoying lately is new folders created and named just stay "New Folder" until the viewed folder is refreshed and then it updates name, but if you try to click on it before refresh it says " is not available or doesn't exist." Same thing happens with deletes, I will delete an item and it will persist and I'll go to delete the item again thinking I pressed the wrong key and it will refresh the windows explorer and say "is not available doesn't exist" etc.


    This is my work engineering pc and this happens sometimes even will all major applications off and closed out from operating in the background. Only way to fix it is to restart windows explorer from the task manager.

    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

    Windows Explorer Sluggish?

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Windows Explorer Sluggish? wie1.png


    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!?).
