Windows 10: intermittent BEX64 explorer.exe crash

Hello folk,

Would very much like some thoughts on the following. Hopefully anyone has clues or tips.

On a fully updated and legally activated system with careful installation of 3rd party software there is an intermittent crash of explorer.exe in both Windows 10 Pro as in Windows 10 Home, which is the present OS. As far as my logic goes it can only be caused by 3rd party software, unless Windows 10 is inherently buggy?
The good news is Explorer recovers instantly without any actions needed. Can continue working.

Happens when:
Unclear but seems random. Last crash was when opening a folder.

Already done:
sfc /scannow (ok)
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (ok)

Unlikely cause:
Several context menu entry removals (from Brink's tutorials)


Here the event info in Dutch which is exactly the same in the 3 crashes this month:

Windows Explorer crashes after copying files to Dropbox folder (BEX64)


I have found an intermittent bug with Dropbox 14.4.19: When I copy some files from my C: drive to a Dropbox folder, then the next time I access a folder on my C: drive, Windows Explorer crashes with that BEX64 thing.

At least, that's what the Event Viewer said, but it didn't give me any more information than that.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

 

Windows explore crash when searching

The tenforums link solved this issue for me.

The root cause is a Windows 10 bug where File Explorer crashes when long file names are included in a search result. The steps for the workaround are:

• Open File Explorer
• Click View > Options
• Open the View tab
• Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
• Click OK

 

Explorer crashing

Thanks Zat. I had never looked at event viewer and it had more info than I thought. Seems the problem was a second computer I was trying to network with. Unplugging the ethernet cable fixed the crashes. Explorer must have been looking in the wrong place I guess.
