    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.

    Windows Explorer Freezes when Downloading File from Browser

    Windows Explorer freezes during download

    Problem steps:

    1. Right click image in browser

    2. Save as

    3. Dialog opens

    4. Create New Folder

    5. Freezes when naming folder. I have to wait 2-4 minutes before Save As is released. Unable to use the browser. Computer beeps.

    6. Once Save As is released, I have no problem saving the file.
