Hey,
I've been having a lot of trouble with my file explorer recently. When I open it up right after a fresh restart, nothing seems to be wrong. All file icons are loaded and I can browse around without the ominous green bar. After around 3-5 mins it starts to break. Firstly the file icons disappear and are replaced with blank page icons, opening a folder starts a green loading bar that never ends, and after restarting the explorer, it becomes un-usable and stuck on Quick Access (displayed in the image).
I've tried all the solutions I can find, including updating and removing columns and context-menu items with ShellExView, and removing all start up applications. On top of this, I've uninstalled all my recently installed files and apps. Any help would be appreciated greatly, I'm a developer and use file explorer a tone for all of my work.
