Windows Explorer Hangs On Blue Spinning Circle.
I just got a brand-new at the beginning of the month. It’s a HP Slim Desktop - S01-pF1046b Product number: 9EE15AA#ABA. Operating system Windows 10 Home 64-bit Edition, Version 20H2, installed on 12/01/2020, OS build 19042.685, Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0. Microprocessor Intel Core i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz System memory 8 GB Memory slot 1 8GB Micron 3200MHz System board 8768 A (SMVB) Everything has been working ok, short of trying to move images from a recovered hard drive around to different folder on an external drive which has locked the computer up three times, I had to power the system down by holding the power button. I was moving over 170,000 images maybe the issue.
What my biggest problem is, not sure if they are related, when I open windows explorer, I touch any icon and the blue circle comes up spinning for a long time. I cannot do anything with explorer till it stops spinning. It also affects the desktop icons as well. I recently restored my explorer quick access views, and folder view settings. I have run HP’s operating system diagnostics, HP’s hardware diagnostics system fast test, Glarysoft’s Glary on 1-Click Maintenance, Iobit Advance System Care V14 Free on care, manual mode scan. I have run SFC, had a couple of errors it fixed, and reran it with no errors. Ran DISM, with no errors. I deleted everything in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations. I have shut down OneDrive, shut down Dropbox, things that articles have said may cause this issue. I have tried showing icons and never thumbnails. I have rebuilt the index and tried most everything online, short of going back to an earlier date or refreshing Windows. It affects only the primary profile, not the other two and I have restored the folder views and quick view settings on one of the other profiles.
