    Explorer Crashing When transferring files.


    So I've been having a weird thing going on. I've searched the forum but can't find an answer to my problem. Whenever I move files from one folder to another explorer crashes and restarts. The file isn't moved. I did a clean install and it worked fine for a while before reverting back to the same problem. I've done a chkdsk scan and sfc scan. The scf scan did find corrupt files and replaced them but the problem persisted. Thought it could have been an update issue so I disabled updates just to test my theory but it didn't help. I installed these programs using ninite:

    Chrome
    7-zip
    Steam
    Notepad++
    Classic Start
    VLC
    Discord
    Foxit Reader
    OpenOffice
    Dropbox
    Handbrake.

    Does anybody have any clue as to what's making this happen? I'm using Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.508

    :)
