Windows 11 file explorer freeze
The windows to select a default app freezes when i type anything in
no characters appear and the file explorer freezes
tried to force shut file explorer and windows just died
only force restarting the pc solves the freeze
is it an windows 11 update problem?
the current os version is 22621.2134
the hardware spec isn't that important
because this exists on different PCs
both desktop and laptop

- Does it happen when you try to type in any application like word or notepad?
Have you tried installing all updates for Windows?
Have you tried Clean Boot?
Have a look at:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd- yes all window updates are applied
and clean boot doesn't solve the problem- Try open Command prompt as administrator and then type the following command:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and let it runs and share us about the result.
