Windows 10: File explorer Closes in Windows 10 Pro after a few seconds on a folder.

This problem started for me about a month ago at the same time as a Microsoft Update. This only seems to be a problem with my primary log-on. Using another log-on, such as my wife's, seems to avoid the problem. I have tried a lot of suggestions that I found on-line, including reinstalling Windows, some of them seemed to work for a few minutes but the system reverted to the failure state within 30 minutes. I'm not sure if it is related or not but the background of Chrome screen when I open it for internet access turned black at the same time this problem started.Any suggestions would be welc

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

windows 10 file explorer opens for a split second then crashes

This problem occurs if I try opening any folder or file explorer itself for example:

• an existing file folder with files in it that is on my desktop,
• opening the file explorer from the taskbar (I have since unpinned it as this was suggested as a fix in some forums)
• opening file explorer using the start menu
• opening file explorer using the windows key + E

In each case the explorer dialogue box will pop up momentarily then disappear again (perhaps a second or 2 sometimes, other times just a flash.)

So far I have tried:

• ensuring that windows 10 is totally up to date
• run the sfc scannow - this came up with no error found
• made sure that the settings for file explorer were set to opening at 'this pc'

I am absolutely out of ideas. Can someone please help?

 

File Explorer folders close by themselves

I have a very similar situation. I also recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I didn't do anything specific to any folders but my File Explorer folders arbitrarily close by themselves every 55~65 seconds. The consequence is that I cannot
copy any files to/from USB flash drive anymore since the process is stopped (all folders close by themselves) every minute and copying discontinues.

I tried both Method 1: Clean Boot and Method 2: Restart Explorer but nothing changed. I also found from other discussion suggesting to run the SFC tool but the concluding message I got was "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
and nothing changed. I also ran McAfee Security Center full scan but it found nothing.

I really appreciate if anyone has answer to this problem.
