Win 10 File Explorer Blues. What should i do?
My Windows 10 File Explorer keeps freezing and crashing, and for the second time now a Windows Update has failed to install on my PC. Could the failed updates be causing these File Explorer issue...
Hi Amanasn, yes, failed updates and File Explorer crashes can be related, especially if shell components or system files are half-updated. Start with DISM and SFC, then check Windows Update history for the exact failed update code. If Explorer still freezes, test in a clean boot and disable third-party shell extensions, because cloud drive tools, archive tools, and context-menu apps are common causes.
