Windows 10: Error in explorer.exe

Jackalito · Jun 7, 2015

I just installed build 10130 and got this message. I'm on a clean install.
Also noticed that restarting just seems to stay on the restarting screen with the spinning dots, and it stays there for ages. I had to hit the power button on my PC to restart.

I thought the same myself at first. But, if you're patient enough, it'll eventually complete the task at hand. It may take several minutes sometimes, though.

Yeah, not sure what it's doing. However, it does eventually restart. Took about 5 minutes the last time it happened to me.

Apparently certain process such as Photos Background Task Host that shoots up the CPU and if you happen to shutdown your PC at the time, Windows will take a long time to kill it. You can google about this and you'll see how many people having this problem.

I'm not sure where to post this - so please move as necessary.

I received the error message in the screen shot when shutting down Win 10 (build 10130). There where two operations I did, one of which may be the cause of the error.
First I was renaming two files (in explore>right click>rename). The first went fine. The second file was renamed but would not complete. System froze and had to use Task Manager to end process.
The second thing I did was to rename the Computer. This worked fine, but the old computer name was still showing the network tree. I clicked on it and the discovery started but after a few seconds failed. Win10 seemed to be stuck at this point but eventually returned to normal.

I don't think anything you did caused the error, because I have the same one on all my HP computers. Every time I shut down, I get the error. And, each time I get the error, the middle 8 digits change. 0x00007FF94A95CC60 . . . I couldn't get a screen shot of mine.

Has anyone notice the error after the clean install of windows 10 and before windows did updates?

I did a clean install, Groze and I know I didn't see it until about three or four days ago. So, yeah, I think I did! *Smile

Whatcha thinkin'? An update did it? If so, I think I agree with you.

I just click the OK button and it goes away and continues with shutdown.
