    Windows Reset and File Explorer Issue


    Windows was acting very strange yesterday. Tried all sorts of troubleshooting and fixes with no success. I ended up doing a Windows10 Reset. The reset took a long time yesterday. Machine seemed to open fine this morning and I began reinstalling apps. Installed the Microsoft Teams app to the desktop and it froze part way. Tried uninstall and reinstall with no luck. With Teams uninstalled, it now appears that File Explorer hangs with the message Working On It.


    Tried removing my large 3TB hard drive and Windows is responding the same way.


    Getting tired of trying various things and was hoping to find some help. Any starting points, tips or suggested next steps would be appreciated.

    :)

    Windows Explorer Replacement?

    I don't use Internet Explorer, I meant the thing where you can look at files etc. Hotkey Windows+E. Maybe it's the wrong name in english though. *Stick Out Tongue Windows Reset and File Explorer Issue :p

    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
