Windows 10, file explorer doesn't load properly

[ChobitsCrazy]

Every time I go to "This PC" section in my file explorer it never loads and is very slow. If I try to launch it from the Start I get what's shown in the pic. I can still navigate to other places on my drive and access the files as such but I cant use this section.

Troubleshooting suggestion :
Run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....
sfc /scannow
> press Enter.

It will take quite sometime. When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports : (paraphrasing )

1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successfully.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If report is #1. Your solution lies elsewhere.
IF report is #2, go see if everything is now working ok.
If report is #3, please do the following........

Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> press Enter.

Again, it will take some time. When finished it will give you a report.
If it says operation successful, go see if everything is now working ok.

Got this back after a 3rd report.

I can't answer the " source file cannot be found " issue.
There is an extension for the dism ......\restorehealth command particularly for that purpose.
But I don't have it and once I tried to find that extension but I failed.
That extension will work only if you have the iso on file.

Anyway, I cannot assist you any further.
Sorry.

I have a fix

open msconfig by searching in start
go to services tab
disable windows search by unticking it
apply settings
restart your pc

but you wont be able to search in taskbar
to fix that
go to control panel>
indexing option>
advanced>
then select rebuild
this will solve your problem

good luck
