Problem is in the title. File explorer takes 4-5 seconds to open from the taskbar, but opens in about 1 second when I search it in Windows Search. Laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 720s 15". All other...

The USB has a few Gb of my mom's files on it, so we've been able to read/write files onto it before.

Thank you for the info - I've tried both the diskpart option and looked for a physical switch - neither have worked

I have an HP Envy Model M1W82UA#ABA and experience a variety of issues when my computer goes to sleep and wakes up. These include:

I tried this, but the only wake and sleep events occur hours before the crash itself. I rand the HP Hardware test and it looks like the Video Memory is the issue.

Every now and then, when my computer is in sleep mode, it will restart due to the NTOSKRNL.exe driver crashing, a driver_power_state_failure. I've tried reinstalling Windows and updated all my...

I'm back now, thank you for all the advice. I've disabled Fast Startup and see what that does. I looked through that link and didn't really like the suggestions; never turning the hard disk off isn't...

When you mean by difficult to resolve? As in the issue is somewhere deep where it can't easily be fixed?

And yes I've done everything on that page. Doesn't fast startup only come into play when...

I've sent it in once to replace the motherboard and replaced the SSD drive on my own
