This is a recurring problem, though fortunately it doesn't happen often.
This is a Desktop computer whose OS is Windows 10, which is fully up to date.
Once in a while my Downloads folder located on Drive D (HDD) refuses to open. I get the spinning thingy which goes on for ever and I have to use Task Manager to stop Windows Explorer, after which the desktop has disappeared, the Windows key doesn't work and I have to manually restart the PC.
Fortunately I religiously back up Drive D every evening on an external HDD, so I delete the original Downloads folder from Drive D and copy it back from the external drive. All is well until the next time. However, it would be good to know why it happens in the first place and whether it could be prevented.
