windows 10. File explorer suddenly terribly slow

0

I have a very fast computer. No problem working with it. Until now. I decompressed a zip file that contained 5 json files. The zip took a lot to decompress, so I cancel it.

Since then, no matter if I restart the computer file explorer is incredibly slow. If I press (windows key)+E , file explorer does not open (as before) and to load the icons takes like 5 minutes

Also the green bar in the upper side is slow

Is there something slowing my file explorer? Any help will be welcome

Have you checked what Task Manager says when trying to open File Explorer? – Leun4m – 2018-02-23T10:28:01.690

what exactly should I look in the Taak manager? – KansaiRobot – 2018-02-23T14:35:43.633

Well, to see if the process is comming up and if there is an unusual high need of ressources for the process. – Leun4m – 2018-02-23T15:46:31.413

You can also try to clean cache like CCleaner or try maybe a sfc /scannow (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system)

First thing to try is a complete reboot. shutdown /s /f /t 0 As windows reboot in Newer versions is not same as old versions for the sake of faster boot times. If your problem persists consider posting a screenshot of task manager here. It is a general issue with Windows which may occur randomly.

What if we try a complete reboot without that hibernation (which it usually does) [Sorry I do not use Windows anymore] – Rezn0v – 2018-02-23T14:49:07.253

That is why I pasted the command for that. Feel free to edit it in. I need it 3-4 times per year after windows get extremely slow and large (8GB+) mapped files keep stuck in memory. – Hennes – 2018-02-23T14:52:45.090
