Over the past couple of days if I try to access my downloads folder I just get a "Working on it" message with no progress and the message at top of page Downloads (Not Responding). All other folder I can get into except for Downloads. Any suggestions? I'm running W10, but keep getting bothered by MS about upgrading to W11.
Also just did a MS update but fobbed them off on the final move by choosing the 'decide in 3 days' option.

Thats a strange one, if you right click it and select properties and then click on the location tab, does it point to c:/users/USERNAME HERE/downloads?

yep strange, another way to try is via this PC -> Drive C: -> users ... etc as above - see if you can access it from there...
I would also take the opportunity to upgrade to windows 11, good chance it will fix that problem and it is pretty nice to use - tabbed explorer windows is a pretty useful feature...
Backup first though, just in case...
