Free Download BETTER Explorer For Windows 10

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The topwindow always shows a list of the currently active processes, includingthe names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed inthe bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: ifit is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected inthe top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'llsee the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that willquickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLsloaded.
The icons in File Explorer have been redesigned. They are flatter and simpler in design. The window border padding is thinner than previous versions. Windows 10 Creators Update and later versions come with a new Universal File Explorer (also known as the UWP File Explorer). Although hidden, it can be opened by creating a shortcut pointing to "explorer shell:AppsFolder\c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_cw5n1h2txyewy!App" [48][49]
In Windows 11, File Explorer had undergone significant UI changes with the Ribbon Interface simplified into a command bar. Translucency, shadows, and rounded geometry have also been added, following the Fluent Design System. In March 2022, Microsoft introduced adverts into the file explorer, but later stated that these were 'not intended to be published externally'[54] after significant negative media coverage.
My employer uses dropbox as a shared drive, and has done so successfully for several years. However I've just started, and have run into an issue where many files are not openable via the windows file explorer folder.
[edit] Windows + D sorta worked. It closes open Windows, and hitting it again restores what it closed. But if you Win+D and then open a program, hitting it again will close that program and only open the same program back up.
But question was how to open all the Explorer windows, in the same manner you can close them all, by right-click on the taskbar icon. I want an Open All option on that menu.
Essentially, I want to add functionality to the right-click menu.
I recently started using WSL2, and I've noticed that it starts running every time I open the file explorer in Windows. I'm guessing this is because WSL2 lets you access your Linux filesystem from the file explorer.
Is there some way to prevent this behaviour? I'd be fine not to have my Linux filesystem show up automatically in the file explorer. Thanks in advance, and my apologies if similar questions have been asked here before.
The Windows file explorer window in my PC doesn't show and pop up anymore in my Windows 10 computer. It does highlight on the Windows taskbar where I can see that that window is opened and also, I can hover over it with my mouse cursor and then its little explorer window icon pops up on the task bar but that's it, the big window itself doesn't show up or is accessible anywhere.
I have all latest updates of Windows 10 installed. What I tried already: I uninstalled a couple of apps which I think I had installed around the time this problem started happening. And I also updated all my drivers with my paid/premium driver update software. But all with no success.
I never had this kind of problem before and I don't know what else to do.
I could uninstall all remaining apps on my PC one by one and see if that fixes it but those are still quite a lot of apps and then I would need to re-install them later again. Not sure if I should do that.
I got it solved.
I hit alt+tab until the Windows explorer window was the front-most window. Then I hit alt + pressed Space, let go of both and hit M, then used the arrow keys to move the explorer window back on-screen. Because I had 'Extended desktop' in my Windows' Display settings, it was off-screen.
It went off-screen because I used to use a second monitor but then later on I didn't use the second monitor anymore and turned it off but you can still accidentally click and drag open windows on to it.
So I used the arrow keys to get the window on the visible portion of the screen. Thanks!
The reason behind the existence of the Windows File Explorer is that the developers FreeSoftLabs wanted an alternative to the current Windows explorer function that comes into action when users sort view add or remove files.
Many private users may figure "What is the point" in making such seemingly minor changes to the file explorer. Others may like the minor changes and welcome the software. However it is professional persons who use and sort files regularly on a Windows desktop device that will really appreciate the Windows File Explorer. It allows for a level of process streamlining and sorting that is simply not available at the moment.
I have the same issue, I uploaded a video file through windows explorer (the installed app with the mounted drive) and it permanently corrupted the file, even if I download it back by the other provided means (thru web browser, or even with the portable app)
