File explorer not responding in Windows 11. It opens up but becomes unresponsive when you click anywhere.

Hi Sajan,

I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

To troubleshoot this issue, kindly try the steps below (skip a step that you have already tried):

1-Perform a clean boot and disable non-Microsoft services:

After that check to see if the issue persists or not. If the issue is fixed, do the same procedure and re-enable the services one by one until you find the service that causes the issue.

2-Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to open Task Manager > Process tab > Search for Windows Explorer and Restart it.

3-You can go through this checklist to make sure the installation is set up correctly:

Hi Dayri,

Thank you for your response. I had tried many things. Unfortunately, they did not work. I reset my PC by backing up my data (without losing the data). Now fire explorer is working.

Best,
Sajan

You are most welcome. Glad to help.
