Thanks!

[@CrownGEEK]

Welcome and thanks for the support.❤

[@nathanielpabalate7439]

This is ridiculous. Something as basic as opening files should not have to come with hardships such as this. File Explorer should be running as smooth as other file browsers in other operating systems. Having to delete cache and browsing history basically negates the entire function of the quick access altogether so what is the point? Just to have momentary stability in a file explorer that will crash later again after the cache builds up? All this leads to an undesirable and unintuitive end use experience.

[@svrvphimprod]

Windows is the worst piece of software all of us use.

[@supasf]

This. I find it hard to comprehend how often my file explorer keeps crashing. It is a basic application and shouldn't use much resources, so in theory it should be rare for it to crash.

[@Malyt538]

@@svrvphimprodah fr this operating system is fucking shit you can’t do anything without problems on here

[@shadows.in.the.hourglass]

​@@supasf Windows programming is a rats nest of old code that they never sort out and simply continue dumping new code in top of it.

[@anitaizato3872]

I've been running mad for the last 1 month. I want to try if his method works.

[@o_Overthinker]

Thanks a million, it worked for me just completing the first two steps. I had earlier completed the Powershell step after searching online but this alone did not work. This was on my work computer and I was offered no other assistance so I am incredibly grateful to you for fixing a painfully frustrating problem 👍🏻

[@slimpickens8589]

Awesome, watched a bunch of other videos, this one fixed it in the first 2 steps. Thanks!!

[@abdullahansari2330]

Sir I have done all the steps but file explorer is still flickering

[@rossellamiccoli9874]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have followed all the steps, because after following other KZbin videos I was simply desperate. It's Saturday and if I couldn't fix it myself I would have needed to wait until Monday to bring my laptop to the store, but I would not have been able to finish a job for Monday! You rock! Not only was this video clear and compact, but you also made many people save A LOT of money (probably around 35-50 Euros in Austria, where I am now). I wish you the very best with your channel, I will definitely come back next time something comes up.

[@carlosgonzalez-mp8bk]

Awsome! You were incredibly helpful!

[@1sewalker]

Thank you. It worked. The first 2 or 3 steps I had already tried. So it was one of the last solutions. Now sure which but I can now open a zipped file without crashiing.

[@lauryn1111]

This seems useful way, will have a try later thank you.

[@TheMrreese24]

Add another local account while signed into your main admin account that's corrupted(i didn't have to put an email just a name of your choice and password), after you add it this should be the admin account now still with all of your apps and settings, then re-add your main info(email you want to become the admin again with and make it admin from the local account that's temporarily the admin) , then open the account recover your settings and apps with this account(make sure everything is recoverable on the proper account name) then delete the local user this worked for me. FYI after you've made sure everything is restored in the proper account you have to shut down to sign out the local account you created as temp account (that had the stuck explorer and unusable search and start menu along with the old Taskbar). Good luck

[@Ramesh-jc1mi]

It's working... Thanks lot!!!

[@eshepard14]

None of these worked, but I found the solution for me. Open File Explorer -> click view -> details pane Something about the preview pane causes the crash.

I’ve had that problem too did you fix it? If so could you tell me how?

[@congoetz9426]

@@zac9181 hmm, difficult to answer properly... I've toyed around with ccleaner and deactivated most of the added entries for the right-click-popup menu. And I cleaned the registry. Not sure what is was in the end, I suspect a buggy add-on.

[@nichen6966]

When giving a tutorial the basic starting suggestions should be on options commonly displayed … File Explorer does not display in control panel for most of us. So your first 2 suggestion didn’t help. It’s ridiculous that Microsoft has deteriorated to such an extent that basic functionality is worse than Linux today..

You can just search on file explorer on control panel
