Lately, Windows explorer.exe has been being weird. It prevents me from deleting folders. I can't tell which folders exactly, it's happening in libraries/music, and also in /pictures. It doesn't do it if I create a file, then try to delete it, only existing folders. It's been kind of hard to debug.
I've been having another issue where if I create a new folder, or move a file, it wont refresh immediately. I have to hit F5. When I delete the explorer.exe process in the task manager, then restart it, it usually fixes that problem, but only for a few minutes then it starts happening again. The preventing me from deleting files happens regardless.
I know it's explorer.exe preventing me, because I use the program "Unlocker", and it says explorer.exe is using the folder, so I unlock it, try again, it wont delete still, so I have to delete it via unlocker. I don't think it's happening to any files, just folders.
Overall, explorer.exe has just been acting up. I just started noticing it heavily today, so I'm not sure what I did that could of caused it. It's been making it very tedious to clean up my computer.
Also I just noticed, that I now can't unpin or pin icons to my taskbar. The buttons simply don't do anything.
Is there any way I can simply download a fresh "explorer.exe" file and replace it, or is the problem deeper than that?
Thanks ahead.
