SharePoint 2013 - “We’re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer, Add this web site to your Trusted sites list and try again”
I got the following error, when I try to open the library within file explorer, I received following error message
“We’re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer, Add this web site to your Trusted sites list and try again”
As it says, i tried to add the current site to Trusted List, but still having the issue to open in file explorer. After goggling a bit, I found that I have to enable the “WebClient” service.
Steps
1. Go to Run, type “Services.msc” and press Enter.
2. Select “WebClient” service and start the service, if you already have.
For me it’s not showing, so I have to Install “Desktop Experience” feature. To do that
1. Go to Run, type “Server Manager” and press Enter.
2. Select Features and then select Add Features
3. Select “Desktop Experience” checkbox and select “Add Required Features” on following popup screen
4. Click “Next”
5. Click “Install”
6. Once you restart the computer, start the “WebClient” service.
