Windows 10: Control panel keeps crashing after a few seconds tried many ways to fix but still can't

This has been happening for months now. My control panel keeps crashing after a few seconds after I opened it. Before I didn't really need to use it but now it is quite an inconvenience for me to deal with. I looked up this issue and found many solutions, such as deleting IDT audio panel can't find this file, deleting IDTNC64.cpl also can't find this file, but I learnt that the cause is probably about the explorer.exe error. Here is the error code:

Not sure really what's going on there. Both the Faulting application and Faulting module are protected by "TrustedInstaller" so I can't really delete or do much to it, and I can't think of much ways of solving the problem. May someone help me out? Many thanks.

Explorer Crash FIX!

Our old Dell Inspiron N5110 got this problem also.
Taskbar keeps refreshing. Thanks many hints from guys above pointed me the direction to fix it.
From Reliability History Monitor I found Explorer keeps crashing because of IDTNC64.CPL (type reliability history at Start)
1. the issue was from IDTNC64.cpl, the sound driver,
but I could not successfully to uninstall it from device manager nor control panel or rename the file or the folder.
2. uninstalled High Definition Audio Device few times, problem remain
3. tried to uninstall within Control Panel > Program file, yet Control Panel only open 2, 3 seconds then closed automatically.
4. finally solved Control Panel shut down problem by going to msconfig>services>and disable Windows Error Reporting Service. see below sequence:
Click window + R keys, type msconfig, Enter to open msconfig, click Services Tag and look for Windows Error Reporting Service. Unchecked it, then apply, ok then reboot system when it suggests.
5. After this, open Control Panel by clicking Start > type Control Panel. Then my Control Panel open and stay put, won't shut down by itself.
6. In Control Panel > Programs > I found IDT Audio and successfully to uninstall it.
7. No more taskbar refresh or Windows Explore shut down after uninstalled IDT and Sound still works great!!!
8. repeat step 4 to check Windows Error Reporting Services by clicking it. OK then follow system suggestion to reboot.
9. Control Panel still able to open and remain open. Sound still works and no more refresh.
10. From Reliability History monitor found no more Windows Explorer crashing.
I am happy and hope above steps help

 

Control panel Crashes in Windows 10

I tried your suggested fix. It caused the same crash. Explorer still works, but the taskbar, notification center and start button all stop working. Upon a reboot, everything works fine, EXCEPT control panel.
