File Explorer taking all my RAM

[Jm5ulla]

Everytime i run File Explorer on my PC, my Laptop starts to run very very slow! At the same time i opened task manager then checked the "Processes" menu. There i found out File Explorer was taking about 1.6k of my memory. How do i fix this?

Hi there 🙂

What do you mean by file explorer?

Also, does the "processes" menu say that file explorer is using 1.6kB of RAM? As in "kilo-bytes"? That's not very much RAM. Can you sort the list of processes so that the one using the most memory is on top of the list? It might be better to go into "resource monitor" from the task manager...

It wasnt open. It happend after i moved a huge game file from disk C to D. But even though i dont move any files it sometimes freeze and makes me wait for a couple of secs.

so it only happens when you moving huge file?

It happens when i move big files, open up files and open the file explorer.
