Windows Explorer not responding .xlsx extn files
Hi When I try to open .xlsx files from windows explorer, the explorer is not responding & need to close the explorer & re-open. There is not issue when these types of files opening from Excel-->Open...
You can try to set Windows File Explorer to the PREVIEW PANE instead of the DETAILS PANE (that is accomplished under the VIEW tab at the top of the File Explorer page) resolves all the "Not Responding" problems with single-clicking, double-clicking, right-clicking docx, pptx and xslx in File Explorer.
Davidjdl7 OUTSTANDING! I had to tweak your response a bit to get the complete fix, but I got it. If either DETAIL or PREVIEW is selected, the failure occurs. The answer seems to be to DEselect both of those views. Then all works as expected. Thank you. Much joy!
