I am not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer and get the message as Windows Explorer (not responding)

Original title: I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer

I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer.

When I try to open: My Documents, Control Panel, any Office application, etc. - the window remains empty and said "Windows Explorer (not responding)."  My desktop icons are filled and I am able to open the Task Manager.

Any help is greatly appreciated?  Also, I'm not a technology person, so please be very percise.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help.

I had installed the update of MS Windows Defender KB915597.  After doing a restore to the point of restoration, taken at the time of the update, I am now able to open Windows Explorer.

Seems that something in this update does not work with my system.  I have had no other problems with Windows Defender updates in the past - it was the first.

Thank you.
