Windows Explorer won't allow files to be saved to Documents
Since last Tuesday's Microsoft Windows Update, my Windows Explorer is experiencing a number of issues.
The update hung for hours on "preparing to update" or some such thing.
I had to manually shut the computer off several times and finally tried the safe mode start, which warned me that the update was not fully done.
Now, when I click on Favorites/My Documents, it hangs; like it is searching but when the shaded bar gets to the end, it stays there and Explorer freezes. When I click on any the window, it goes whitish and a message pops up asking if I want to continue waiting or should the program be closed. I shut the program down.
If I click any other item on Favorites or Libraries, even Documents within Libraries, Explorer does ok.
When I try to save a file in Photoshop or Dreamweaver or any other program, a message pops up saying the program failed to respond and gives me the option to wait or close the program.
Even if I try to print to PDF, it does the same thing.
In other words any time I need to save any item from within any program, the programs freeze. I even changed the save folder in PDF Phantom, from documents to downloads and still it won't save.
My next step will probably be PC Restore and to hell with everything.
I tried system restore but it won't fully restore. A message pops up after the computer restarts saying that a complete restore was not done.
Next step PC Restore and start all over again, from scratch. hell!
