For some reason, my file explorer will not work after a random number of time/sleep cycles on my system. You open file explorer, and click on desktop, downloads, c:\ links, (on the left side panel), and nothing will load. The green progress bar at the top will slowly progress to the right, but my files will not appear. If I click on too many links, the entire file explorer will go gray and say not responding. If I close it, all the programs on my desktop will usually disappear. The only thing that will fix this is a reboot, when everything works as it should.
I have my OS and some programs on an SSD. Everything else (desktop, downloads, documents, most programs) is on a 500 GB HDD. I can open programs stored on the HDD while file explorer is not responding, and programs and files already open work fine, so I know the HDD is good. The only problem is that file explorer stops working at random, and stays broken until I reboot.
