File Explorer keeps opening when...

All this can be solved, and here you will find out how. Here are a few more useful tips to deal with the “File Explorer keeps opening” problem.

Solution 1. Stop it with Task Manager

Task Manager can be opened by right-clicking on Start. There you will see a list of possible actions; click on Task Manager. In the new window that pops up, select the Explorer(it may have names File Explorer or Windows Explorer) line. In the right corner you will see Restart button. Click on it.

Pay attention! It may happen black screen appears and the only browser stays open. This possible, when you selected Windows Explorer, right-click and used End Task. In that case, use ctrl+alt+del key combination. The blue screen will be load and in the bottom-right corner, you will see the Start button. Click on it and select restart.

This method is so simple that users often forget about it, thinking that they have a more serious problem. But it is always better to start with a simpler solution.

Solution 2. Turn off AutoPlay

This method is more suitable for the second reason that File Explorer keeps opening.

Right-click on Start and select Control Panel. Now find the icon that says Programs by default. In a new pop-up window, select Autorun Settings.

When you need autorun, you can turn it on in the same way.
