Thread starter evolart Start date Jan 21, Status Not open for further replies. If I open windows explorer or my computer that window freezes up and everything inside it becomes white. Occasionally after a long period of time I can see my drives and can click things but it is very very slow. I have checked for viruses with more than one program and cleaned all spyware off of the computer. I have also ran check disk and defragged recently. I also ran system file checker and I still have the problem.

My last try will be to do a repair install of windows, but I was hoping someone here might know of a way to fix this issue. Having the same problem here. Did you also re-install all the motherboard-drivers again on your mobo-CD? No, I didn't install the mobo drivers from the CD, just used the latest nForce drivers nForce2 chipset.

Looks like there's a new bug going around because all the sudden there's a bunch of activity on this thread. This is the first time this happened to me and the posted fix resolved my issue.

I was able to turn the features back on and now it all works. I could not even open File Explorer to change this setting. I did find another way to change the File Explorer Options:. Open the Start Menu, and click on the Gear to go to Settings 2. Type File Explorer in the Search.

You should then get an option to select File Explorer Options. Click on File Explorer Options. Click Apply, then OK. This will work every time Thank you so much for posting this work around. Explorer was crashing on me far faster than I could right click on it. I'm just trying to drag a maximized File Explorer window from my laptop screen to an extended desktop on a flatscreen. FE drops down in size to a basically the golden ratio with the long size vertically.

The X gets a red box around it and the X itself goes white. FE goes Not Responding. I tried clearing recent files from Quick Access but no dice. I have a mapped drive but the location is about 25 characters, all slashes considered. I cleared that from Quick Access, still no dice. Thanks a lot. I've had this problem for a while and finally decided to investigate it. This page had the solution. That helped - I was able to open on this pc.

Then I checked-off the see recently and frequently used items in quick access. I can pin folders to quick access when I want to. Tried this advice on clearing Quick Access eight times. I see the hourglass to suggest it's working, then nothing. I don't suffer crashes, but Explorer has been absurdly slow.

Same problem here, clearing the list seemed to resolve, could open explorer but the quick access would crash it, launched explorer through command line to a specific folder location, that allowed me to change the settings. Have used W file explorer for long time and today this occurred.

Tried all solutions multiple times no luck. I never use quick access. How can i get rid of it and keep the ordinary file explorer? How do I do this? Read windows help re disabling quick, but at the end it sounded just like a hide - not a true disable. Another way seems to be to search for a specific file you know exists from the start bar then right click and open file location.

This allows explorer to open for me without crashing. Then you can change the settings. Cancel Submit. Vijay A. Verma Volunteer Moderator. Hi MichaelDeutsch1 Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor.
