Disk problems in Windows 10

[Olick]

I have some problems with Windows 10:

 

- When I download an image/file (from Chrome or Firefox), it takes a long time to get access to my disk and the browser freeze (nothing is clickable, everything returns good when the file start to download). There's a long time (3-5sec) between when I click on "download" and when the file starts downloading.

- When I create a new folder in Windows Explorer, I have to manually refresh with F5 to view the file. Sometimes Windows Explorer crash.

- Sometimes when I grab a file to drag it somewhere, Windows Explorer crash. I have to restart Windows Explorer.

 

I don't think this is a hardware problem because my hdd is recent (WD Blue) and the problem also happened on my old drive.

 

Can someone bring me a solution to fix the problem?

 

Thx

Have you tried creating a new explorer?

Many things could be causing this, what are your systems specs? 

 

Other Questions. 

- Have you cleared cookies and other garbage? I use ccleaner

- Have you ran anti-virus suits, 

- Could it be a memory leak caused by another application on the system?

Because your explorer crashes when moving or creating files, I would definitely narrow this down to software first.

I recommend doing a clean install of Windows after backing up all your data.

 

I had Explorer crashing on my Windows 10 randomly a few months back before the anniversary update, probably because I've been running the insider builds since Windows 10 launched. People running the stable channel builds like yourself should not have these issues.

Mhm. You can kill and rename your current explorer to prevent Windows from recognizing it, and then use sfc /scannow  in cmd to generate a new one.

 

It helps sometimes, I'm not really sure why explorer is so predisposed to screwing up.
