Windows 10: Explorer.exe - Application Error every time I shut down

I took the upgrade path from Build 10122 to 10130, but every time I shut down, I get this application error message after the desktop closes. I have to click OK to terminate the program to shut the machine down.

This is the first time I've seen this error, and I'm looking to see if anyone is familiar with this and if there is a fix I can make to correct it.

Task Host Window / explorer.exe - Application Error (on shutdown and/or restart)

1. HP TouchSmart 300-1020 (I indicated this in the first line of my original post).

2. I updated Windows Home Version 1511 to Version 1607 (Build 14393.10--also indicated in my original post). I made no other changes during or after upgrading. (However, today, I added Piriform Speccy to my machine--since I did this AFTER the error message
started appearing, I think it is safe to assume adding that program has nothing to do with the issue.)

3. I get the error WHEN I SHUT DOWN OR RESTART, not while I "access any particular application." Let me repeat: This error occurs WHEN I SHUT DOWN OR RESTART. That is the ONLY time it occurs.

I tried ending the explorer.exe process and running a new explorer.exe process. The explorer.exe - Application Error still (sometimes) appears. Not every time; but sometimes.

 

explorer.exe application error

I am constantly getting this error and explorer.exe is hanging. This causes the system to be slow and I have to reboot. However, trying to normally shut down doesn't work and I have to manually shut down. Here is the error.

explorer.exe Application Error

The instruction at 0x00007FFB57B06E29 references memory at 0x00007FFB2A134B38. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate program.

 

That may be one of the problems, with NOT doing a Clean Install. (corrupted files)

So you can always try downloading the ISO, burning a DVD and then doing a Clean Install.
Well, that's what I'd do anyway. Heck, that's what I always do, and so far, since January, I've not had any problems with any of the Windows 10 builds, from 9926 to 10135.

After a Clean install, if you have any problems, it's usually some little bit that got miss-read during the install. So you just reformat and install again and that usually fixes things.

Good Luck!

I suspect there is a problem with the 'Power' options link in the Start Menu in Build 10130 or later.
Every other shutdown option works without the error.

 

I believe this is a known issue in build 10130. Check out these posts:

Alternatives to avoid the error:
- create a desktop shortcut using: shutdown /s /t 0
- 'Slide to Shutdown' found at "C:\Windows\System32\SlideToShutDown.exe"
- Shutdown options in WinX Menu
- use the physical Power button

 

I suppose this is the one time I'm glad I'm not alone. I just check the Windows Insider Program Community forum and there are quite a few posts there too with the same problem on Build 10130. I reported the problem too through the Feedback so I'll be patient and see if they come up with a fix.

I'll try another option to shut down as a work around for now.

 

Having the same problem (clean install) just wondering if it is because of the older DDR II memory. . .*Confused

 

I would just like to add that I also receive this error when shutting down via the power menu. I did a clean install of windows 10. Also I have ddr 3 memory in my pc. So, it's not directly related to ddr 2 memory.

 

I have DDR4 memory so not sure if there is any connection or not.

 

I get this error as well on shutdown.

How do you get 10135, it's not showing when I try Windows update i'm still on 10130?

 

It was a leaked build not offered through Windows Updates.

 

Oh, wonder when there going send out another update 10130 is so buggy.

 

I get the same error number but the message is on top of a line about DDE Server Window. I did find this about it:
windows 10 technical preview build 10041 - DDE Server Window - Microsoft Community
