Windows 10 file explorer problem
I bought a PC this year with Windows 10 installed, and it went fine but after some time it started freezing whenever I opened the file explorer or if I right clicked on a file or in the desktop. The files in the desktop also display a blank page instead of their usual icon. I have no clue what may have caused this and it is very infuriating. I have tried several solutions that I found on internet, such as removing desktop menus from my NVIDIA graphic card, typing sfc /scannow to see if it detected any issues(it didnt) and also going into file explorer options and checking and unchecking whatever it said on the internet(most of the options were already checked or unchecked how they were supposed to).
It is really a big deal because some times it works just fine, but most of the time it just stays there loading or it doesnt respond at all and I have to close it, if I open it again it still wont work. It happens in any folders, and when I open the file explorer directly (the This PC folder) it just crashes. I would really appreciate it if anyone here knows of any solution that actually works for me.
