File Explorer slow to appear

biker66 · 19 Apr 2019

i'm running build 17763.437 but i believe this problem i've seen in earlier builds too. sometimes File Explorer appears not to open when i click on the app's icon that i have pinned to the start pg. but it does open if i then just click on the start button in the bottom left corner! it opens quickly straight away then.. so the app is running but not showing itself.. its a strange bug. anyone else have this?

after installing Windows i upload with some drivers namely:
-intel chipset
-ME
-intel graphics
-realtek audio driver
-updated driver for my wireless.
-driver for my monitor.

i don't believe any of the above are a cause of the problem.

Hi biker66

I assume this is a different PC than your spec which appears to be on the first Feature update of 2019.

Think I would redo my graphics driver. Start with DDU to do a complete removal and then reapply.

Does this also happen if you click the File Explorer icon on task bar? (Assuming it is still there which could be a bad assumption.)

Did you uninstall and reapply video drivers?

i may try a clean install onto my 2nd internal SSD drive when i get time. i'll test without any drivers installed. then if install one at a time and test after each.
