More Info:

• I have been running this instance of Windows 10 Pro for 6 months and never experienced this error until last week. Since then, I have received this same error/CTD at least 30x in several different applications.
• I have not installed any new hardware or made any significant changes to any of the settings.

Troubleshooting:

• I have run Windows memory test.
• I have run Windows system file checker
• I have run MemTest86 3 times successfully with 0 errors
• I have re-installed Windows keeping files and settings
• I have updated all drivers.
• I have run Windows error checking on the OS/App drives.

Please help! I am going crazy here. I am happy to try anything and will gladly provide any other relevant information.

Exception code: 0xc0000005 explorer.exe crashes

Hello! I had a bunch of Explorer windows open when they all closed, the task bar cleared out and repopulated again, and peeking at the Application Log I see

And, as it wouldn't hurt, I ran a cmd shell as admin and ran sfc /scannow , the results are...

This process will take some time.

So... Anyone might know what is causing these mini crashes? Thanks!
