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

Anonymous

I tried every solution available on the internet to make file explorer responsive. However, it is not working. I open up file explorer, it opens. Now, when I click any folder or any icon or try to do search, it becomes unresponsive. I have spent days trying to fix this and I am very frustrated with this. Can any Samaritan

help me with this?

Kind Regards,

Sajan

What if you just delete the folder itself

It refuses to search any folder. And I am a hoarder so my folders go back a long time so I'm reluctant to delete any of them.

Thank you persephione.

These steps and the video was perfect. I did exactly as they said and now my explorer is working again.

I tried the steps suggested by the DYARIBARHAM but they did not work for me.

I also am having this problem. I have done all the suggestions on your post. I have also reinstalled windows 11. Nothing has worked. I desperately need to get this fixed. Can anyone please help?

Hello,

try following, worked for me :

Windows Settings/Time & Language/Language & Region/ and add a preferred language "English (United states)" and tick the box 'Set as my Windows display language'

Check that the keyboard layout is still appropriate after adding this.https://answers-afd.microsoft.com/static/images/image-not-found.jpg
