Windows 11 file explorer top toolbar freezing
Hello everyone,
I have a client set up in a new azure virtual desktop environment with fslogix. Everything is running smoothly, but there are certain times when the top toolbar in file explorer just freezes. Most of the time it only affects the ability to use the back arrow, but sometimes it affects the entire toolbar.
Has anyone seen a problem like this? Any possible solution to try?
thanks
Any changes or updates including patching recently?
If not, try this:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
- Rogier_van_der_HeijdeCopper ContributorWe have the exact same problem. Our customer has 3 Windows 11 AVD hosts and out of the blue the top bar in explorer freezes. Unable to click the back-button and navigation bar. When freezing it still is possible to browse through the folder structure and use the backspace to go back.
Hope someone has the golden tip for this problem.- CH88477Copper Contributordid you ever find a resolution?

I hope someone who reads this has a solution

I've had the same problem since moving to Windows 11 too. I've noticed that if you open a new explorer tab it seems to get worse.
