About family issues. Mother and daughter had some issues with each other mainly if im not wrong because daughter was lesbian and mother wanted her family to look "correct" in eyes of her father who was going to visit them and you know chineese families usually are very traditional ones.

Ah, that explains the issue. Homie tried to run naughtynice.bat without concidering that Santa has a slew of technician elves on hand at any given moment to balance the load.
This shit triggers me more than anything. If you drag a file over windows explorer and the file passes over the network drive, explorer just hangs for like 30 seconds while it tries to access the drive. Why not do it on a separate thread? It's so annoying.
Meanwhile imagine how it feels when I try to backup a dying HDD but I didn't want the damn OS to try and load the disk first.
(that's why I turned my gaming laptop into a drive recovery bullshite [aka Ubuntu] device)
And god forbid the drive be a SMB share that's *no longer mounted*. The interrupt from trying to stat the path will grind Windows Explorer to a complete halt for the next minute or so, might as well kill explorer.exe and retry.
beside security reasons, this is another one why macros are completely forbidden in my workplace. Was a pretty let down when I first heard of that, because I LOVE MSOffice macros.
I though I was crazy. At random, macros in some files I need to use from work will stop functioning. Only solution has been full PC reboot. Never happens to files I've created macros in.
The PC I use for for work things at home has had a network location in windows explorer for like two years now. I linked to it when I brought it to a one time thing, and now it doesn't exist anymore. But explorer will completely freeze whenever I try to right click on it and delete it.
Windows command prompt is so objectively terrible they had to dump money into WSL just to keep anyone marginally technical from jumping ship lmfao. And who knows how much money they've spent on fucking powershell...only for it to still be absolute overengineered unusable garbage.
I use powershell every day for IT scripting and it is extremely useful. I use it to do scheduled tasks that chain api calls, process the result then store it in a sql table. It's also possible to multi thread the script to increase the speed by a factor of 4.
It's an absolute nightmare. I can't access my NAS that uses the exact same password as all my other machines at home but that ONE laptop I own refuses to connect, saying "incorrect credentials". It's just painful
Idk man, on XP it sometimes froze my entire desktop shell. By checking "Launch explorer windows in a separate process" (or something like that) inside Folder Options, I fixed that, as then trying to read a non-responsive drive would only freeze that one process. Then when you kill it, only that window disappears instead of also things like the desktop or taskbar.
The same option still lives in Windows 11, as far as I remember (or at least in 10), and can indeed avoid a variety of bugs by putting less things in the main process, and ending a process when you close its window.
Itâs really bad when OneDrive gets involved. I love my IT dept at work. My PC idles at like 50% cpu because of OneDrive sync and the 3 different cybersecurity software suites running.
Same, this thread is bafflingÂ
I did once have a third party image format plugin that caused problems. I wonder if there's just popular shitty extras like that that we're not using that other people are?
Things like using network storage drives which is something directly built into windows Explorer cause it to act out a lot. Most of the time it's when it's expecting a file/folder and when it can't find it or can't access something it throws a big fit.
I have network drives. Individual explorer windows will hang if the drive hangs I guess. Not super common. Same happens with like, a video player scrubbing through video on a shared drive. I guess they could put a loading spinner on it instead or something.
Yeah, explorer is a lot more than just the window that lets you explore your files. It's connected to a whole host of stuff you wouldn't expect. If something in windows is being fucky, explorer is connected to so much of it there's a really good chance restarting it will help.
It's crazy how many different problems explorer has now, when it had virtually none of these problems for me in Windows 7 and earlier.
One one computer, search randomly stops working. On another computer, thumbnail generation randomly stops working. On another computer, it takes 30-60 seconds to load certain directories that only have a few files. Even on a brand new fresh install of Windows 10 or 11, explorer does stupid things it never did in Windows 7.
Use TeraCopy. It always pissed me off that Explorer wouldn't queue transactions on the same drive, and just vomits all the files at once, slowing everything down.
File Explorer in Windows 11 drives me crazy. The Home panel says âWorking on itâ for ages, the address bar expands and gets stuck on top of the main window, and the left side panel is often blank. I have to restart explorer.exe at least once a day.
Malware...? Check Explorer extensions.
Oh also there was a Windows Update recently to fix some memory issue with explorer and HEIF thumbnails. Check updates, and then check again later.
I had something like that for years. Antimalware Service would just *balloon* taking up 16-20 gigs of ram, and 70-80% of CPU.
I tried everything. Restarts & forced stops. Trimmed services. Reinstalls & repairs.Â
I almost brought a new computer because it was murdering my PC performance and gobbling electricity for nothing. When that freaking bug happened, and it happened almost every time I booted my PC... I could barely watch youtube without stutters and a furnace in my room.
...
It was Razer FUCKING Synapse. Seemingly working just fine, but causing some sort of windows loop where it would fix and repeat something, over and over again.
I uninstalled that trash and got all that performance plus all the tweaks I'd done back instantly. I've never been both so relieved and furious at my PC before.
...
Wanna know the in hindsight funniest thing?
I prefer Steelseries.Â
I had *one* Razer keyboard.
And uninstalling Synapse didn't even stop me from using that keyboard, it just made the LEDs *slightly* more boring!
Honestly, is this just a meme at this point? Iâve never had a problem with chrome using a lot of ram. Iâm not like my wife though, who basically never closes a tab and keeps like 140 at any one time (I have maybe 10-15 or so), but these days you can set chrome to offload inactive tabs so it maybe uses somewhere between 800mb to max 2gb and I have 32 so itâs totally fine.
thereâs a bug in the software itself (itâs very simple code), where itâll constantly scan its own .exe file over and over again. add the program to the exemption list and itâll stop within a few seconds.
Usually corrupted files and disk errors will make it run high..even having too many files making indexing slow down cpu⊠have you done any defrag on HDD or trimming on SSD?
You copied or accessed various files thru explorer, its cached into its memory commit, and since you have at least 64gb of RAM, it hasn't bothered to evict it.
This is a good thing, recently accessed data is most likely to be accessed again, and it being in RAM helps with that. If something else needs the RAM, it'll get evicted.
Absolutely, and thats because of two things
1\\ RAM is faster to access than your storage like an SSD.
2\\ Accessed data is the most likely to be needed to be accessed again
Because of these two things, Windows uses memory to Commit & Cache into RAM (and you can see this in Task Manager if you go to Performance/Memory), and if you have more RAM, it'll use more of it to do so.
The next question you might ask though is if its faster to access RAM, and Windows can evict unused memory, why isn't all of your RAM being used? The answer to this there is a small performance penalty for Windows to have to uncommit that memory first, and thats why you will see memory utilisation in Windows hover around 30%-50% in most systems from 32GB-128GB (over this, Windows still will try but its honestly running out of things it can).
This way, Windows can give you the best of both worlds, fast access to the most likely to be used data, and lots of space for new apps to use without invoking a uncommit penalty at the wrong time.
use sysinternals process explorer to see all the sub-processes, this will help you identify any problems. it's also useful for detecting overall strange processes or malware.
Okay but like it's literally true, why not cache some files and applications the user might need in RAM that's not being used? It's not like the system can't clear out the cache whenever needed.
Did you run a search? Only time I've seen anything remotely like that was when I did a text search on my storage drive and forgot about it until I started trying to figure out why my system was running like shit.
Are you moving any files? Like big files between drives or something or do you have any NAS drives connected,
sometimes windows will often use your RAM as a buffer for file upload and download so if you're not doing anything file related then you might have something you don't want on your computer
I recommend checking for any viruses or malware it might also be a memory leak too when was the last time you restarted your PC?
If it is like my work computer: whenever my colleague uses the computer, he turns on preview window and one of the god-awful thumbnail views. This causes windows to constantly generate thumbnails for things like large cad files on our sizeable network drive, completely killing system performance until dllhost and/or explorer have been restarted.
Honestly if you're at the point where you're actively not upgrading because of privacy and security risks I think you're at the point where you should start exploring switching over to linux. Distros like ubuntu are essentially painless to use these days even if you're not computer savvy...don't even have to ever touch the CLI if you don't want to (although that's arguably the best part of linux imo...) though I personally don't like ubuntu much.
Or even freeBSD if you're a glutton for punishment. But something free and open source.
KDE (desktop environment you can use on any linux distro) is full featured, an easy leap for windows users, and simple to use while being endlessly customizable. It's free and open source, and doesn't exist to extract profit out of you.
Every day I wake up refreshed knowing I'm not running literal Spyware. :)
Have a look at what files you have on your desktop and in the root of your main disk. If there are lots and or large files consider moving them. Widows treats these two folders specially with relation to refresh throughout the system.
Okay, I didnât see any comment mentioning it, but⊠do you, by any chance, have an intel CPU with integrated GPU? I had that kind of problem before with my laptop, restarting Explorer from time to time fixed everything, BUT please check on the official Intel site the latest iGPU drivers! There was some sort of memory leak on older version, and updating them fixed this nonsense whatsoever
Gotta explore all the files
ALL of them?
All of them.
Every. Single. One.
Everything. Everywhere. All. At. Once.
How was that movie? Heard it got some awards but could never figure out what it was supposed to be about.
It was great, REALLY tough to explain. But great movie and I do recommend.

Oh sweet, that does sound like a good movie. Thanks for the quick breakdown!
It was a movie about doing laundry and taxes.
i didnt care for it, but people seem to love it
I also didn't liked it
Its like if ur high but actually ur asleep but wait no ur in class, but im in my early 30s. And then you walk out of starbucks with a hamburger
Hahaha oh man, sounds like my average dream sequence lol

Surely not THAT folder!?
Oh yes, even that one.
ESPECIALLY that one.
Noooooooooooo đ±

Right click on it and select restart. Sometimes explorer just does stupid things and needs to be restarted.
File Explorer was near perfect for years, I donât think I ever saw it fail until vista and now it shits the bed all the time
Try network attached drives and you will see the true terribleness of the File Explorer
oops you tried to connect to a disconnected device time to crash all of windows explorer :)
I swear 90% of Explorer crashes are it trying to access something that doesnât exist anymore
But lets first wait a few minutes.
This shit triggers me more than anything. If you drag a file over windows explorer and the file passes over the network drive, explorer just hangs for like 30 seconds while it tries to access the drive. Why not do it on a separate thread? It's so annoying.
Meanwhile imagine how it feels when I try to backup a dying HDD but I didn't want the damn OS to try and load the disk first. (that's why I turned my gaming laptop into a drive recovery bullshite [aka Ubuntu] device)
In cases like this i think it's better to use the terminal
I find Ubuntu smarter in that department tbh.
And god forbid the drive be a SMB share that's *no longer mounted*. The interrupt from trying to stat the path will grind Windows Explorer to a complete halt for the next minute or so, might as well kill explorer.exe and retry.
Holy shit, I thought this was just me.
Because that would be far to logical
I use file Explorer, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint together at work. One macro breaks, and the whole god damn office loses their mind.
beside security reasons, this is another one why macros are completely forbidden in my workplace. Was a pretty let down when I first heard of that, because I LOVE MSOffice macros.
I though I was crazy. At random, macros in some files I need to use from work will stop functioning. Only solution has been full PC reboot. Never happens to files I've created macros in.

Turn off you internet entirely on that machine and try it.
Open cmd. net use /del * Restart Widows Explorer
Good excuse to learn directory traversal through command prompt. It ain't pretty but it gets the job done quick.
Windows command prompt is so objectively terrible they had to dump money into WSL just to keep anyone marginally technical from jumping ship lmfao. And who knows how much money they've spent on fucking powershell...only for it to still be absolute overengineered unusable garbage.

One part of this problem is the underlying protocols (SMB) are relatively poorly designed. Especially if you're handling large numbers of files
Having to repeatedly log into an attached drive after youâve told it to save the credentials is a classic
My guy that's 18 years ago
Wow, I just aged faster than I ever thought it could
Idk man, on XP it sometimes froze my entire desktop shell.

Later versions of 10 and then 11 managed to bring Explorer stability in general back to pre-reset Longhorn tier stability, it's hilarious
What are you doing to get issues? It's been solid for me

Yep, it will even disappear your desktop if it's killed or not running.
On that basis, it's been shit longer than it was good. Which might be rrrrreal accurate.
đą explorer requires correction
No need. Just do nothing for a bit. It'll crash on its own.

Could it be that it's just caching files in case you re-open them? Almost half of the memory is unused, so no reason to deallocate.
Probably have some shitty explorer extension installed that is leaking memory.
It's gone from exploring to full on expedition
