Windows Explorer hangs when attempting to rename or delete a folder

• 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.

  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

  Sincerely,

• 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?

• Hi I have windows xp sp3 and recently when iam to rename a file or folder is to show that "If you rename this file .This will be unusable" so, how do I change it?

  How can I change it please help me...
  Visit this link for the dialog that I saw when I am trying to rename the file

  Looks like you are trying to remove the extension. Probably because you do not know its there - by default, Windows HIDES extensions knows it.

  Use Control Panel-folder Options (or select it from the Tools drop-down in Windows Explorer). Click the view tab and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", and then click OK.

  The name of your file will now show you its extension, i.e. the bit after the point. The extension defines what program will try to open the default file. If you change the extension so it can not open by double click.

  When you rename, do not change the bit after the point, unless you know it's the right thing to do.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows Explorer hangs for a long time after the installation of the latest updates from Microsoft

  Hello!

  Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest Windows updates on the Web from Microsoft by using Windows Update.

  After that, I see a strange thing from time to time.

  Sometimes when I open Windows Explorer or on a list of logical drives reader app, the hangs of the application for 10-15 minutes (not answer).

  While it hangs, other applications can function normally if they don't read the list of drives, for example, I can use Internet Explorer at the same time.

  The appearance of the problem is unpredictable, it can happen after 10 to 20 minutes of work after the reboot, or even after 1-2 hours of labor.

  My OS is Vista Home Premium x 64, laptop Pavilion dv7 - 1157 cl.

  At the moment I don't have any antivirus software or third party drivers (I configured factory drivers only).

  Event log Windows contains no error messages, all devices are displayed in device in the form of work normally without errors management.

  I ran the test of memory with the memory diagnostic tool, it found no errors.

  Here is the list of the installed Windows updates.

  Do you have any suggestions? There may be a problem already known with some updates?

  I'm surprised, there is no answer at all.

  Well, the problem has been successfully resolved by installing Vista SP2 RTM. My test program has been run 20 hours and showed no delay.
