  1. Windows Explorer crashing every 2 seconds!


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1803 build 17134.345 currently unable to operate my computer since this morning!

    Windows Explorer keeps on crashing every 2 seconds, I killed the process explorer.exe (by opening an elevated command prompt via Task Manager) and ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and SFC /SCANNOW via the same elevated command prompt, I also scheduled the drive to be checked for errors the next time I restart the computer.

    I scanned the computer for malware using Malwarebytes and Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, no malware was found!

    I suspect a Windows Update to be the cause and found the following in the Event Viewer

    Event 1000, Application ErrorFaulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.17134.165, time stamp: 0x4031a9f8

    Windows explorer crashing

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
    http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54365

    I have tried the fixes listed in the above thread and I am getting the same error message as 'ktadie' (post 16). I think this is because I am running Windows 7 Professional. Windows explorer crashes when I open my 'Films' folder on my brand new 2tb external HDD. I have about 300 .avi files in this folder and some of the .avi files are several years old.

    In short I believe I need the same fix given by 'Wile E' (post 7) but updated for Windows 7 Professional.

    Thanks in advance.

    Explorer crashing

    Thanks Zat. I had never looked at event viewer and it had more info than I thought. Seems the problem was a second computer I was trying to network with. Unplugging the ethernet cable fixed the crashes. Explorer must have been looking in the wrong place I guess.

    Windows Explorer crashes and thumbnails problem

    Hi, I hope you can help me.
    Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
