Select the Security tab, select Trusted sites , and then select Sites. In the Add this website to the zone box, enter the URL for the website that you want to add to the Trusted sites zone, and then select Add. The URL will be for one of the following websites:.

Make sure that the latest Windows updates are applied. If all the latest updates are applied but the issue persists, make sure that the WebClient service is running. In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If the Startup Type for the WebClient service is set to Disabled , the Open with Explorer button doesn't function correctly, and you cannot start the service.
To enable the service, go to the WebClient Properties dialog box, select the list option for the Startup type setting, and then select either Manual or Automatic. Next, select Apply , select Start to start the service, and then select OK.
