When using a computer system with the Windows operating system, you many encounter an error which reads as “Element Not Found”. There are six ways which this can be addressed to include stopping/re-launching the Explorer application, uninstalling any recent software updates, uninstalling brand specific software and using a host of installed tools. Using another application to open an existing file can also possibly help. As a last resort one can perform a full reset of the computer system however this will revert PC to factory default settings.
Key Takeaways:
- One thing to try is to relaunch your explorer.exe that is located in the task manager.
- If you have had any recent updates to windows, try to roll back to a previous version
- Lenovo software has been shown to cause issue with it and Windows 10. Remove those drivers.
