Win 10 - File Explorer Crashes

Hello MSFT Support,

Where have you gone?...this is a major issue for many loyal customers but as you can tell frustration is setting in with many in the lack of direction from Microsoft. I feel like we are trying various home remedies when the problem is with Microsoft File
Explorer which we rely on being stable and available.

Having us go to SafeMode is not a solution, also you could create more problems for customers in that BitLocker may come into play, which doesn't appear to be easy way to suspend this in non-Enterprise versions of Win10 before rebooting into SafeMode.

Please give us some direction or when the fix will be implemented?

It would be a real shame if you lose loyal customers to Apple or Google but lack of leadership here may steer many in that direction.

Best Regards!

 

Hello, I imagine you have a permissions problem.

Try Tweaking.com's repair tool (free), only use the repairs you need- it includes several related to permissions. Observe its recommendations as to caution.

And when all is well, if you haven't yet done so, start creating disk images routinely, which will often help you recover from problems quickly without tech help. (E.g. Macrium Reflect free is often recommended here).
