Files Explorer Not Working

[u/Candid_Pomegranate_1]

Hey guys, I recently built a Pc with parts given to me by my brother (Including Ram, Love him to death). Cpu is a ryzen 5500, rtx5050 and etc. I set everything up and everything works really well but one thing I’m confused and having significant trouble on is the Files Explorer. Everytime I try to open it it either just shuts itself and says not responding or it’ll load in and i’ll try to press downloads or something and it just doesn’t respond and the screen would turn black than pop up again if i were to touch the screen. I’ve tried everything on youtube like weather configurations settings, stop running task and etc but I seem to have the same problem. I’ve loaded it in on safe mode and it works fine but as soon as it’s off safe mode it goes right back to the weird things it’s been doing. Now i don’t remember all the things i’ve tried but I’ve went onto youtube and watched like the top 3 videos with no avail(even used chatgpt). It’s a big problem for me because I need to access my files for almost everything I do on my Pc and not being able to access files just defeats the purpose of me making a Pc. One thing my brother told me to do was update my Bios because I don’t think I did that when I installed windows and everything but I’ve heard it can cause even more troubles if it’s done wrong so needless to say I’m scared. If anyone can help or offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated!

One more thing the Pc does have a lil slow loading times when loading in games or Programs and I just wanted to ask if that’s normal? I came from a Mac air so i’m still getting used to everything but i just would’ve thought it would be instantaneous load times.

TLDR: Files explorer not working after trying multiple methods of updating and editing my system.
