    Accidentally closed windows explorer and now laptop keeps crashing


    I have a dell laptop with windows 10. I accidentally ended the windows explorer task in task manager and my screen went black. I restarted my laptop but it keeps crashing on startup. I tried starting a new task explorer.exe but the same problem keeps happening.

    Hello,

    I did the steps you wrote. All the settings were as you suggested. The File Explorer keeps crashing.

    Windows explorer crashing

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
    Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

    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.
