Windows 10: Windows File Explorer

Recently I posted a thread about control panel not working. Finally got it started by opening in file explorer. Once it started there it would open from any of the usual places. My problem now is that File Explorer is doing the same thing control panel was doing. Can't seem to start it from anywhere. I just get the "wait" circle for a second and then nothing. Any ideas?

:)

 

File Explorer has gone crazy after last nights upgrade.

My only has icons instead of full descriptions. I can not get back to a point where I have tabs that actually say something. Please tell me how to get my view repaired? help... Help.... HELP!!!

 

Win 10 - File Explorer Crashes

Hello MSFT Support,

Where have you gone?...this is a major issue for many loyal customers but as you can tell frustration is setting in with many in the lack of direction from Microsoft. I feel like we are trying various home remedies when the problem is with Microsoft File
Explorer which we rely on being stable and available.

Having us go to SafeMode is not a solution, also you could create more problems for customers in that BitLocker may come into play, which doesn't appear to be easy way to suspend this in non-Enterprise versions of Win10 before rebooting into SafeMode.

Please give us some direction or when the fix will be implemented?

It would be a real shame if you lose loyal customers to Apple or Google but lack of leadership here may steer many in that direction.

Best Regards!

 

Hi, does it open normally
a. in Safe Mode
b. after a clean boot
c. if you disable all shell extensions (be sure to hide MS ones) using Nirsoft's shellexview (freeware)?

 

It probably had to do with an uninstall yesterday. Did system restore to yesterday before install and all is ok. Should have checked that first but with all the problems I had with control panel, I made too big a problem out of this and didn't start with easiest fix. Thanks for help.

 

Good- sometimes the simple option is best.
