Hey everyone! :)

Recently, my laptop with Windows 10 is having some weird issues.

If I open This PC from the desktop, it usually opens right away. But if I open File Explorer fron task manager, it is taking about a minute to open.

Similarly, VLC media player and GIMP 2 (image manipulation software) are taking too long to open. GIMP 2 takes probably like 20 minutes!

But when I open Firefox and Kdenlive (video editor), it opens up without those issues. [So I guess its not a performance related issue?]

Does anybody have an idea what is happening to my laptop?

My specs:

Intel Core i5
8GB RAM
64-bit OS
