Windows Explorer almost unresponsive Monday, November 2, 2009 at 7:53 am Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by james (384 messages posted) At times when going to the Explorer to do some file maneuvers, it goes unresponsive and a progress bar begins to run slowly across the top of the Explorer window real slow and I can't do any actions. Also "My Computer" and the other icons in the left hand window change to an animated look indicating an update is happening. This is different behavior from the Explorer in XP. I turned off an indexing service that looked like the resource hog in the task manager, changing its startup behavior to "manual". This may or may not have helped. What's the rationale for this slow virtually locking Explorer behavior? Can it be stopped?
