Maybe this belongs on another site.. but I was just wondering if anyone knows why windows explorer sometimes decides to go into the 'not responding' state.

This isn't a huge deal as I can just open another file explorer and kill the other process.. but I am just curious as to the likely cause.

The weird thing is that this seems to be totally random. I cannot pinpoint an action that causes this.

Using Task Manager:

I tried 'Debug', which opens visual studio, but it just shows the same performance info you see in task manager --- just for the individual process. Telecharger stargate the last stand.

I tried 'Analyze Wait Chain', and this tells me the thread numbers, but nothing more.

I looked in services and there are none associated with the PID.

Any suggestions?

'Not Responding' means one primary thing: Windows is asking for the current status of the application, and the application is 'Not Responding' to that status request.

The reason WHY the application is not responding varies widely, and doesn't usually mean the program has hung or crashed. Generally, when your program is flagged as Not Responding, waiting is the best thing to do. Only if it remains in this state for an extended period of time is it OK to end the task and restart it.

Common reasons why Explorer shows as Not Responding are that it is busy trying to contact something or it is waiting for responses to a scan of resources.

Making sure these resources and the things Explorer may be waiting for are generally well available is the best way to stop Explorer from going into this state.
