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
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.
@@phamdung1829 after you opened control panel go to clock and region, set the time and date, then go to internet time tab, change settings, uncheck sync with server.
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
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?
What I was trying to do was grab files from one external hard drive, the drag and drop onto another external hard drive hooked up to the same laptop, then it would crash. What I can do now is, right-click on the folder or files, copy them, then paste it onto the other drive where you wanted to go. I find it doesn’t crash this way
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
Solution : Open task manager using ctrl +alt+ delete Select users Right click ur user And select Manage user accounts FROM THE TOP LEFT CORNER SELECT CONTROL PANEL HOME Select Date and time Change date to September 4th Restart ur pc This will work
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.
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.
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.
Not just Windows Explorer, it can also affects Start menu, system tray, notification center, right click menu, Windows Search to become sluggish or even not working too.
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
@@mregghead9521 doesnt do anything. Check that post by Microsoft, thats an official post. Im now on getting release 22449.1000 dev which also seems to fix dual monitor auto-hide.
