My downloads folder was also not responding and sometimes would not close to exit folder. After a windows 10 optional update and restart, all went back to normal. Feb, 2023

I was trying to upload files to put up pod items on etsy and no luck I tried checking the co for issues and saw nothing so was pretty sure it was me. I searched for days for some solution because all my saved files were in the downloads folder.

Low and behold I finally ended up here and wow tried changing the classification to subfolders also and BOOM.

Thank you site owner your rock what an amazing set of instructions

This has not worked for me. Downloads folder still says “Not Responding”, even after following the instructions above multiple times.
