File Explorer not responding when searching for programs and files

When I want to search something at start (when pressing the start button) it keeps saying "File Explorer is not responding", or I guess it's that. I have a dutch computer so it actually says "Windows verkenner reageert niet". When I want to search for programs and files, it freezes. I tried Fix it, but it says I have no any problems. I was on a vacation. Before my vacation, I didn't have such any problems. And 1 thing more, it freezes too when I want to name/rename a map. I tried to set the theme to Windows-classic, but that didn't work neither... It even froze when I want to capture a video with fraps to make it clear!

Welcome to Seven Forums Xearion. Looks like it is Windows Explorer is not responding. Does this problem happen every time, or only randomly? If it is repeatable, try booting to Safe mode and see if the problem occurs there.

Safe Mode

If the problem does not occur in safe mode, try a clean start to see if there is a conflict

Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup

If problem still occurs, I would next run the System File Checker

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

If it finds error it cannot fix, post the sfcdetails.txt from Option Three.

Great, glad you got it sorted, probably removed some things you didn't need starting with Windows as well

Xearion could you let us know what you unchecked that solved your problem? It could help others with the same problem.

It appears to be a way to control various functions in your laptop, all in one place. From what I can see it is not malicious, but also not necessary. Have a look at the info from this site. I am not suggesting to use the software being touted
