Windows 10: File Explorer exiting unexpectedly

I am trying to clean my system of softonic, webdiscover and downloadmyinboxhelper viruses. I am using File Explorer to locate the content. Explorer finds multiple entries for each virus, but for some reason it exits during the search. Can someone explain why this happens.


Thanks

windows explorer closes unexpectedly after windows 10 update

Hi Sanjay,

There are several reasons why the Windows Explorer is closing unexpectedly. This may include an outdated video driver or the system files on your PC may be corrupted or mismatched with other files. Answering the following questions may help us in resolving
the issue:

• Aside from the Windows 10 Update, were there any other changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• What is the exact error message or code are you getting when the Windows Explorer closes unexpectedly?
• Were you able to install all pending updates on your computer?
• What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

Regards.

When I open file explorer, and then open files within file explorer, the window were my files are located unexpectedly closes. This happens often. When this happens, the taskbar at the bottom seems to go blank and reset itself. Please help.

What I saw from the Disk Management, You did not do a clean install, you probably did an in place upgrade. The 100MB System Reserved is normally used in Window 7. For a fresh install the Disk partition scheme should be as follows:

1. 500 MB System Reserved partition
2. C- Drive.

Since you did not have to many apps installed, I would re-install Windows 10 as suggested above. It is better to have your Windows installed on the first sata port (Disk 0) so I suggest to open the case and connect the cable from disk 0 to disk 2 where you have C: drive. Disconnect the other cables for now and do the steps below:

1. Boot up with Windows installation media
2. On the first screen. Press SHIFT + F10 and type
   diskpart
   select disk 0
   clean
   exit
   exit
3. Continue with Installation, select the unallocated partition then click Next (Do not create partition/format. Let Windows create the needed partitions.
4. Once done, reconnect the other cables for drive D and E.
5. Reboot, your Disk 0 should contain 500MB system reserved and C drive.
