  • It's kind of hard to open the start menu when it's part of Explorer EXE. If Explorer exe is not working you do not have a taskbar or start menu to work with
  • @attafwrd
    Temp fix: 1. Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager 2. Run control panel from File drop down 3. Change date to a couple days ahead or Sep 4, 2021 4. Disable Time Sync 4. Restart OR you can just simply change Internet Time to sync with NIST.
  • Kinda weird, been using Windows 11 since start of the Beta and dev releases. Suddenly today explorer doesnt respond at with release 22000.168 Was working just fine yesterday?!
  • i had a failing optical disc drive, before doing any of these settings be sure to test each individual drive one at a time, i though one of my external hdds was failing or that it’s still a bug but nope! hope this help
  • Your explorer seems to work fine. If its not responding taskbar wont do anything neither!
  • My files are opening from searching in start menu but not by opening them in concerned folder. What could be the reason?
  • I have also found that disabling Game Mode helped a lot for me. When I first updated to Windows 11 my explorer was crashing every 10 minutes or so. Disabling Game Mode fixed this. It still crashes here and there but starting up Task Manager and stopping/starting the service again fixes it. Note: If you can't open anything since it is not responding, you can use Ctrl+Shift+Esc, wait until task manager opens, go to Details, find explorer EXE service, stop it, start up new explorer task.

    I seem to have problems when I try to drag/drop files or folders from My Documents to an external drive. Sometimes it freezes then I have to scan the external drive for errors before it sees it again. Is there a patch or update for this?
  • Why would any of these changes help? None of the changes you suggest here require administrative privileges.

  • @FMSax
    Yes it did. Thank U so much.
  • POSSIBLE FIX: To resolve this, you need to open the > And Time Control Panel and change the Date to September 5, then take the option to sync the Date and Time automatically
  • @blackdog2626
    Thanks, man! Thought I was having difficulties due to my maxed out memory
  • @Jim47ww
    This has worked for me today. I always wonder why these things occur. I hope the solution lasts a good amount of time but can come back here if I need to. Thanks.
  • Does not change anything on my side. Startup of explorer.exe takes 60 seconds and more.
  • @Pink6931
    LEGEND... that did it.. been bugging me for weeks, Thanks
  • @methos154
    I was able to fix all the issues following your guide. I think the fix was changing it to My PC but I dont understand why this happened in the first place. I would like furthur explanation besides "Windows is" to explain this because it was fine and just happened. I need to mention also that I disabled some services so perhaps that led to the issue.
  • Guys please someone help I have tried everything in the videos and in the comments NOTHING it's working please help
