Windows 11 File Explorer is causing unusual problems.
Updated notes: Clicking right on the drive causes the explorer to freeze as shown. New details: Opening it first with a left click then right click on the blank area lets you adjust properties, suggesting the issue lies with the OS rather than the drive itself. Possibly a shortcut or broken link.
I just realized I didn’t think of that. Man, I’ll tell you.
Linux functioned properly without any issues. I attempted to set up a new user based on intuition. It worked well for the new account. The issue seems related to my user shortcuts or links. The main challenge is that swapping users would require redoing everything, which could take a month if it resolves. I rely heavily on Vortex and frequently use mods for my games, so having no backups is problematic. I need a method to restore or reset file links. Honestly, Windows 10 was frustrating at times, but this situation makes me believe Microsoft often releases better versions next.
Yes, it seems like an MS problem. The issue might relate to My Documents being in a special folder. Would moving My Documents back to the C: drive work? If it does, it likely needs to be logged as a bug with MS.
No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Let me know if you need anything else!
