  1. File Explorer Keeps Crashing


    I have seen this on other threads but I haven't been able to fix it yet.

    I run Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3 with 2 additional screens, a Dell and an LG.

    Everything has worked fine for the first few months, but in the last week I have had the same issue every single time.

    I open up a folder and it immediately goes to one full screen. If I try to move or resize the folder, the folder resizes very small and blinks constantly. Basically it crashes and I have to right click and close File Explorer.

    I'm sure this is an easy fix, I just don't know what to do. Any thing will help.

    Thanks,

    :)

    Windows explorer (File explorer) Keeps crashing

    Hey guys

    I have an issues with Windows 10. Windows explorer keeps crashing and I am not sure why. I have read through many forums and have tried many solutions but non seem to have worked. I have tired different solutions for about 4ish hours now and I can't figure
    this out. I am not crazy good at trying to fix this type of problem.

    When I am navigating through folders with Windows explorer, I can move through them without problems. When I open a file (Ex. notepad) the file loads, and the Windows Explorer crashes. The crash for Windows Explorer also happens when I open a file on my
    desktop (or any pdf/game/whatever else). Anything I double click causes the crash, but the file will still load (whatever I double click). I can't look at photos either on my computer with Windows Photo Viewer. I have left this issues going for so long (ever
    since I've upgraded to Windows 10) assuming an update would fix this but it hasn't.

    Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem (non of these worked)

    1) Used ShellExView. I've hid all microsoft extensions and disabled everything else

    2) Set the size of text to 100%

    3) Set options to launch folder windows in separate window

    4) I started computer in safe mode and crashes still occurred there

    5) I've run the command SCF /scannow command and everything was 100% verified (forgot the term it said)

    6) Force updated Windows and restart computer

    7) Used Ccleaner

    8) Booted the computer with a clean start (everything disabled on start up)

    If anyone has any idea why the issue is happening I would greatly appreciate the help, I can't seem to figure this out on my own. If there is a detail you would like to know that you may need to help solve this problem also ask for that too.
