What did the trick for me, however, was disabling Quick Access in File Explorer. It goes without saying this wasn’t the most convenient workaround because it interrupted my work, not to mention that the bug coming back occasionally was a frustrating experience which, given I’m currently working from home due to the pandemic, made me think about switching to a non-Windows platform for a more reliable experience.īut as it turns out, the issue isn’t as difficult as you’d imagine to fix, although as I searched online for workarounds I discovered that such an unexpected behavior could have multiple causes. However, this “workaround” didn’t necessarily manage to fix things every time, as occasionally the Task Manager, which I used to end the explorer process, stopped responding and eventually forced me to reboot the device and recover to a fully working desktop. More often than not, invoking the Open or the Save as dialog resulted in Windows 10 freezing, and the only way to recover was to kill off the explorer.exe process. More specifically, the issue happened with browsers, which I used for work either to upload or to save files on my device. This is exactly my experience with a recent Windows 10 issue, which caused the operating system to freeze every time an application tried to launch the Open or Save as dialog. Diagnosing a bug in Windows 10 is very often a process that requires more than one attempt, especially when we don’t know exactly what’s causing the problems.
