Explorer becomes unresponsive?

swerd · 2025-07-19T07:06:06-0400

Is anyone else experiencing this? Explorer becomes unresponsive after a while, and the only option I have is to close the instance and start a new one.

This issue has been present on both my PCs since 24H2.

I am hoping 25H2 will fix it.

Cheers

Try this it did work for me a few times, as i experienced similar on some upgrades to Canary versions.

First thing I try in these situations is to run the tuneup.bat batch file. That's because it is a simple first step. It only takes a double-click to run it but it can take a long time to complete. In my case it has taken from 15 minutes to 90 minutes. Others say it took longer on their devices. It runs SFC and DISM commands in a command window to find and repair system files. You'll need to unzip the file first.

Also ensure that all device drivers are up to date. Especially the graphics drivers.
