Windows 10: Windows file explorer freezes for 5-10 minutes when usinf save as or navigating for files...

My laptop latest hardware with 16 GB ram and i7 often gets app frozen for minute 5-10 when i try to use save as or navigate from within to work with file explorer. I ran all possible test on hardware side with no issues detected. Did a complete wipe and reinstall of windows and stopped using chrome and still get this problem.

My feeling is it happens due to network drives but i am unable to locate the issue or logs that can confirm this.

I use Google stream as network drive, box, since I got this machine last year with no problem. Only few months earlier this issues surfaced and have not been able to fix.


Any suggestions to help.

FYI: Running SFC and system DISM process did not fix this issue.

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

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
