When closing the window, it does not respond, and it takes several clicks to close it.
When you press the Alt + F4 shortcut in File Explorer to close a window, the window occasionally does not respond, and you need to press Alt + F4 repeatedly to successfully close it.

If File Explorer is busy processing other tasks (like loading a large folder or a network drive), it may simply ignore or delay the Alt+F4 command.

In File Explorer Options, check the box next to Open folder windows in a separate process and restart your computer.
