  4. Ended explorer.exe

    Explorer.exe Crashes everytimes I acces a certain folder.

    Let's restart your Explorer.exe and see if it address the issue. To do that, follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the task bar, and select Task Manager.
    • Click the Details tab, select explorer.exe, then click
      End task.
    • On the same Task Manager window, click File >
      Run a new task
      , then type in explorer.exe.
    • Explorer.exe should now be restarted.

    Let us how it goes.

    Regards.
