My plan was to reinstall all of windows, but I didn't wanna lose files or apps, so this was my only option. iso file of windows, ran the setup and repaired my windows which took a good two hours. Used ShellExView to disable every 'context menu' service.Īfter everything has failed, I decided to download the Windows media tool to create a new. Ran a full virus scan of my computer using BitDefender. Used a different app from Windows Media Player. Restarted the 'explorer' process multiple times. Used 'msconfig' to disable everything non Microsoft related at start up. I run Windows 10 Home version 21H1, Build 19043.1110 I've looked around the internet for ages for a fix, but with no luck, leaving me here, writing this post. This is super frustrating as the explorer would just be in a 'not responding' mode until it finally would pop up or open the file. I could right click elements instantly though, but as soon as I would hover over the 'Open With' option it would also take 40-60 seconds. I could navigate around the explorer with no issue, but as soon as I double clicked a file, it would take 40-60 seconds before responding and opening. Everything was working fine until one day when I turned on my PC everything was responding very slow.
