Windows 10- Explorer constantly freezing

Hi All, 
Over the last few days I've had an issue when using windows apps in general, but primarily films & tv- whenever I open it, my whole windows explorer freezes, cant alt+tab etc, just have to wait it out for like 30 seconds until it starts working again. I've noticed this when navigating settings too!
I've tried sfc /scannow and it said it repaired some corrupt files but hasn't made a change. 
A friend of mine on W11 says he's also getting this issue~ could it be graphics drivers as we're both on the latest nvidia ones.
Thanks!

    End the explorer process and clear the icon cache, and you'll see the effect immediately.
