    Windows Explorer is not working properly.


    Hi everybody.
    Dr. Nick

    I have a problem for about 1 month, and i haven't got rid of it.
    When I start Windows 7, it works fine for a random time (it can be 15 minutes, it can be 5 hours)
    But when it happens, i get this when I do some actions like
    Opening "Computer":
    Picture 1
    Opening folders (missing icons):
    Picture 2

    And after right clicking on a file, it get buggin' and I need to restart explorer.exe

    What I tried:
    sfc /scannow
    chkdsk
    malwarebytes antimalware
    Registry cleaning

    Also, when i log off, and log on, it works properly, so I believe there is something running in the background that is making this happening.
    What could it be?

    Running processes:

    Need services??

    Ok you can click delete on the program now.

    Next step.

    Did you install anything prior to this happening? Even updates on your anti virus or drivers?

    I clicked delete, and it restarted, so i will see how that went
    I think i haven't installed anything then, i was too busy to do anything serious on my computer (nobody else use it)

    EDIT:
    I did uninstalled lan drivers and installed a newer one.
    Also, i changed a graphic card, but i removed amd drivers properly and installed a new nvidia one.
    If I don't find a solution, i can handle it for another 2 months, because then I will install a Windows 8 OS, when vacation starts

    Your icon cache seems to be corrupt. Follow this guide, download the .bat file and run it: Icon Cache - Rebuild

    OP's Picture 2.

    @OP:

    You have too many processes running in the background. Please check the ones I highlighted.

    Also try temporarily disabling Kaspersky Anti-virus. When you browse through your files, the realtime protection system scans each and every item in view before they can appear (the icons particularly). That might be taking time.

    Also, I would like you to perform a Clean Startup and check if the problem persists.

    Thanks,
    Robo

    One more point is that, actually they may not be corrupt at all, I can clearly see the left pane icons - with magnifying glass icon on them - which means the icons on the right are still "loading" (result of the same delay he's facing in explorer). I suggested the OP to use the cache rebuilder so that incase he's having anything corrupt, that will automatically be repaired. :)
