How do I Resolve the "Microsoft Windows Not Responding" problem in Windows 10?

Before this week, my Windows 10 computer started to show an error"Microsoft Windows isn't responding" with 2 options --"End Process" and"Cancel". Both of these options lead to a platform hanging in the center with no working background computer and all the Windows shortcut keys not working. After some examination, I found out it is because Windows File Explorer is not able to load which subsequently occurs due to an incompatible File Explorer extension that has been installed by either a rogue application or by an old software that does not work nicely with the new variants of File Explorer.

Windows Not Responding Error

One simple way to repair this mistake and bring your Windows 10 system back into the normal state would be to remove the offending software that has installed a poor add-in for File Explorer. This is how:

Since nothing else is working, you have to start Task Manager to work around. Use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to start Task Manager.

In the Task Manager, click More details and change to the detailed view. Windows Not Responding Error

Type appwiz.cpl in the"Create new activity" window and then click on the OK button. Windows Not Responding Error

From the"Programs and Features" window select the offending app that you recently installed after which the problem arose.

After the offending app has been removed, Return to the Task Manager, select Windows File Explorer and select to Restart it. Windows Not Responding Error

If step 6 fails to load Windows background normally, you have to select File Run → New activity from the Task Manager and then type shutdown /r /t Ray in the"Create new activity" window to be able to reboot Windows.

I've experienced this problem when installing PDF-XChange Viewer (free version) together with the shell extensions (File Explorer extensions). This installed version wasn't compatible with Windows 10 and led to this malfunction after reboot. If this solution doesn't work or you don't recall the offending program, then you'll need to revive your Windows back into a functioning state using Windows System Restore.
