Windows 11 File Explorer all messed up
I'm experiencing significant issues with File Explorer on my Windows 11 system. The interface seems disorganized and unresponsive, making it difficult to navigate through my files and folders. ...
To fix File Explorer issues on Windows 11:
- Restart Explorer: Open Task Manager, right-click Windows Explorer, and choose Restart.
- Clear Cache: Go to File Explorer Options, click Clear under Clear File Explorer history.
- Run SFC: Open Command Prompt (Admin) and run sfc /scannow.
- Disable Quick Access: Set Open File Explorer to: This PC in File Explorer Options.
- Check Updates: Ensure Windows is up to date in Settings > Windows Update.
If the issue persists, reset File Explorer settings or create a new user account.
Clearing the File Explorer cache could resolve issues with how files and folders are displayed.
- Open File Explorer.
- Click on the three dots (menu) at the top and select Options.
- In the Folder Options window, go to the General tab.
- Click on Clear next to Clear File Explorer history.
- Click OK to close the window.
this method won't work for me!
