Windows Explorer hangs when accessing files

• Windows Explorer hangs when opening office files

  Windows Explorer crashes when opening files on the desktop.

  The accident occurred when going back (or hit the back button) when a desktop folder is used.

  After a few weeks of frustration, I've isolated a few things that makes it a little easier to deal with, and maybe this will help some members of the community help me pinpoint the problem.

  I've exhausted trying to use system restore system backups.

  I discovered the stops 'window launch folder in a separate process' the 5-10 sec reload of the Windows desktop.

  Open the folder by opening a window of the Explorer than navigating to C; \Users\USER-ME\Desktop does NOT cause the error; just when you open the folder 'from' the office.  (which goes against the convenience to keep files open on the desktop at first project)

  I suppose that as a last resort, I could start using a location (like C; \MyDesktop) place the files in there, and then create shortcuts to them.

  I was about to do an installation of Windows o/s before you find the option 'split the process' & isolate when & how it occurred (as first of all, I thought it was totally random)

  The only unusual thing that occurred near the time of the problem was trying to uninstall [Google Drive] that crashed due to a security locking violation.  I reinstalled today, uninstalled mode safe, found guilty folder (... AppData \Local\Google\..) used 'Take Ownership' and then finished. But after a registry cleaning & several resets, the problem persists, then maybe it was just a coincidence.

  There are a lot of reasons, it may happen, but my guess is a failed shell extension.  She's going to Extensions are what adds options to the context menus you see when you right-click on various things.  The hull of the Office is different from cases, even if a program (like Google) added an option to the menu in both places, so it is possible for one to have a problem.  You might be familiar with the common shell extensions, like "Scan this file with Norton" click on menus and others.

  You can use a program like shell ShellExView to disable the extensions one by one to help out.  Although my personal dose of this situation is to create a new user account on the computer, then do drag your files into the new account, and delete the one damaged.

• Windows Explorer hangs when copying large files on external USB drive

  I'm trying to copy files over 1 GB of my pc to a WD MyBook external drive. After about 10% on the progress indicator, Windows Explorer crashes. When I cancel the work, nothing happens until I unplug the USB. Then I have the pc returns to normal.

  During my research, I discovered that a lot of people have this problem. I have tried many suggestions, but without result. The last thing I tried was a full format the C: drive with a fresh install of Vista. Copy a large file gave me the message 'Calculating time' infinite. After you have installed SP1 reappeared the problem as explained above.

  Some of the things I've tried:
  check the external hard drive: no problem found and the problem occurs on all my MesLivres 3
  safe mode
  Superfetching disabled
  update the motherboard bios

  Now my last request resource helps professionals. If I don't find a solution I'll have to go back to XP, achieve Win7 or one rating for Mac... a lot of things to think about.

  Best regards
  Rafael

  Try to copy in safe mode. If can be a slow usb port. Try anther one.

  Good luck.

• Windows Explorer stall when open file when not on the field

  When I'm at work all work very well.

  But if I work at home or another with internet connection (the two wire / wireless)

  When right clicking on the file extension (.doc .xls .all), Explorer of stall for 30 seconds.

  I check the connection of the netstat command, it shows that my laptop trying to connect with my corporate domain name (but it may not)

  But find everything if I use the command open in Word or Excel or open the attachment in Outlook.

  This happened since I have this laptop (pure install first).

  Several virus scan I try, but found nothing wrong.

  Disconnect all the card reader no help

  You have an idea?

  Hi Danupop,

  ·        This only happens with Microsoft Office files and applications?

  ·        Were these files stored on the network earlier and more later copied on this computer?

  ·        Should it behave the same way with files that have been created on the local system?

  However, you can try to configure your computer to use offline files.

  To configure your computer to use the offline files feature:

  a. Click Start and then click my computer.

  b. on the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

  c. click the offline files tab.

  d. Select the enable offline files check box, and then click OK.

  Access the link below to find out how to configure your computer to use offline files.

• Windows Explorer hangs opening a file in a folder

  This problem has bugged me with Vista from day one: I opened a folder to get a set of folders inside the office.  I clicked on the file I want, it opens, then the monitor goes pale as if it was locked to the top-no response.  Vista says it checks for the problem so Explorer restarts.  This will also happen occasionally with records that I don't create (like desktop).

  NO application does not work.  The CPU usage is 98% the system idle process (if I have the Task Manager open first).  I can't stop everything in the background, and it still happens.

  I guess that's one of the issues corrected with Windows 7, but I'm not getting free.  I may as well buy a NEW laptop instead of installing Win 7 on a Virgin but 3 year machine, or the loss of all of the programs I have installed (I know, "only potentially ") or who have need to reinstall and update each other, losing Windows programs is no longer included (I lost Chess Titans for Vista to crash and cannot get it back so what is thrown for Win 7?) etc.

  Sorry if I look bored, but I am.  I won't say the word of 3 letters "M" here, but I'm about to consider home.

  I know that this topic is old... but here's how I fixed it same problem guys...

  I have my own website where I post my collection of baseball cards... anyway I made me a new PC and I put all my files on a backup hard drive... When I installed Vista on my new PC, I then moved my files back to my new PC... Well, I got hurt in one of my folders to open Ditto... so I used filezilla, I use to transfer the files and others on my site... well filezilla let me open the folder and inside I saw where I had created a 'God Mode' for windows Quick Launch folder and for some reason when I backed up my old PC that placed in the folder with my personal stuff and this caused my problem... so I removed it inside the app of filezilla and it I want to open my account now and saved all my pictures and videos I had saved inside this folder and my theme of site Web etc... I guess maybe if you have this problem, what I'm saying, is to use a 3rd party app to see if you can view the files inside and maybe determine the cause of this issue, do not open and if not perhaps important, you can delete and see what happens! Good luck.. just a thought, it worked for me but for all the world situation can be different!

  Hi HBrown Gordon,

  In order to focus more on your particular situation, I shared your post to a new thread.

  Please take a look at the following information through Wunders in a previous post:

  The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user.  If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock.  Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.

  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive.  If corruption is present, it may take more time.  Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile.  In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost.  If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.

  Hope that helps!

• Windows Explorer hangs in vista

  I use windows vista home edition and using widows Explorer to find files, etc, if there is a problem, that is to say wireless hub or permissions, then explore just hangs. Manager tasks cannot stop the Explorer, the only solution seems to be reset. Why I left XP? y at - it update?

  Hello Greensleeves2001,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Since Windows Explorer hangs when you perform a search to find files, it is possible that your search index may be corrupted or unusable. So, it is quite easy to rebuild the search index.

  Click on the start ORB, in the start search box, type index. Then select the Indexing Options of instant search, which will be at the top of the list.
  Click Advanced, and then select Rebuild to rebuild the index from scratch.

  This will take a while to complete, so don't choose not to do this if you are just finishing a task.

  If please reply back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem

  Hi douglash21414001,

  I think maybe it's a coincidence, that nothing is installed with ExportPDF, so nothing should have changed your web browser. That said, you can clear the cache of the browser and then re-open your browser. (What browser do you use?)

  You can also try to restart your computer, if the browser is restarted does not solve the problem. But still, I don't think that this problem is related to the ExportPDF.

  Please let us know how it goes.

• Windows Explorer hangs and crashes on (tried everything) video files

  So I've had this problem for awhile now and it does not seem to deteriorate. Every time I open a folder in Windows Explorer that contains video files (of any type), YOU start to have problems. The Green loading bar starts to take forever, or if that manages to load properly, then doing ANYTHING with these files will result in US gel and ends up crashing. No matter if it is just a right-click, trying to highlight, trying to move, try to remove or trying to open. They all get the same answer.

  Things I've tried and the results:

  -Set the folder options to never display thumbnails (bar is no longer a problem too bright green)

  -Set options folder for general documents

  -Tried to optimize files with videos to video

  -Switched back to General

  -Ran of virus/malware scans (clean)

  -Never allowed cache, the nooks and the crannies of unnecessary files

  -Uninstall unused programs on C:\ for free space

  -Defragged everything

  -Uninstalled and reinstalled each video player

  -Uninstalled and reinstalled all my codecs, as well some as superfluous jic

  -Have toggled between every possible program by default, VLC seems more reliable (see the note below VLC), Quicktime least WMP and DivX uneven at best

  -Ran msconfig and methodically unchecked/restarted and then double checked / restart all services and the start of the program (no change)

  -Ran SFC Scannow (no reported problem)

  -Booted safe mode (no difference, we HAVE still freezes on video files, don't say anything about the running server error)

  -Use a directory of third-party files (Q - dir) to access files, Q - dir froze after right click on videos

  -Use a video converter to convert videos between file types, now accessible but converted videos seems not to to material they are converted into - in addition, nonconverted original suddenly too much work very well, but ONLY those that are accessible by the converter

  -Used VLC to find and open the video files. Œuvres, but only one at a time, that is, if I try to open another video file after the first in the same window of VLC, VLC freezes. Need to close the program, and then reopen the program to open a new file without freezing. Recently opened files of VLC are accessible via Windows Explorer without freezing (note, the accessibility seems temporary, filed consulted with VLC a few days ago to return to the State unclickable).

  -Note on VLC: may seem to move and delete files using the VLC browser without problem, but ONLY before opening any file - after VLC must be closed and then reopened as previously reported

  And Yes, I turned it works several times.

  I feel that I've tried everything, and the problem seems to be growing. I feel like there must be a problem with the way that we, I don't know, compiling data on files or something, but I don't have enough background tech to get past this wave and completely unnecessary idea.

  Oddly enough, everything else on my computer is fine. Non-video-folder navigation is fine, no lag or freeze, programs starts quickly, internet connection is fine, browser videos play without problem and when I can get the video file plays on something they play very well - just good luck for their.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm about to tear my hair out.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

  As you said you are not facing this problem to boot, it means that you are facing this problem due to a third-party application.

  If you are referring to the steps in the link below under 8.1 and Windows 8 Windows in 3 steps , after you check the box against hide all Microsoft services. You will see a list of non-Microsoft services, you need to check the cause of these services.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

  Uncheck half the service and check the rest of the half.  If you face the question yet, then it menas that you are facing this issue due to services that were not invalid.

• In Windows Explorer. A dated file say 12/02/2000. When you click the folder, the files in the folder bear different date. Why is it so.

  ORIGINAL TITLE: I use Windows xp.

  I use Windows xp. In Windows Explorer. A dated file say 12/02/2000. When you click the folder, the files in the folder bear different date. Why is it so. To update the files, we should see the dates of the files instead of the dates of the folder. right? Why is there such a difference?

  My copy of Windows XP works the same as yours.  Apparently the date folder is not updated when the content is, that fact make some sense as the folder itself is not updated when new content is created in the it.

• By selecting the MTS files in Windows Explorer hangs 64-bit Windows 7

  I have a Canon VIXIA HF100 HD camcorder which produces MTS files on a SD memory card.  When I plug the SD card in my PC, I see the files listed in Windows Explorer.  When I click on one of the files, my computer freezes.  Totally inadmissible, including the mouse.  My first thought was a defective material, but I was able to copy the files to another computer and put them on a USB key.  When I plug the USB into my computer and try again to select a MTS file, I get blocked again. Then as I tried to turn off the preview feature icon, thinking it was a codec problem, trying to extract the thumbnail view.  This did not help.  I don't see anything else to do.  What happens when I select a file in the Explorer?
