Windows Explorer Keeps Crashing

My Windows Explorer Keeps Crashing

Why I think it's not working

• I'm on a vacation in a different country
• Downloaded a app titled CC Cleaner to get rid of duplicate photos
• Downloaded a app titled Duplicate Photos Fixer to get rid of duplicate photos (10 gigabyte of photos and videos have been erased from hard drive

Current Situation:

I have to move photos and videos from my iphone to my hard drive via my toshiba notebook but my windows explorer keeps crashing.

I have opened task manager, went to files located above the processes, typed in explorer.exe and ran task manager using administrative privilages. Turned off the computer and turned it back on. Windows explorer worked for about 10-20 minutes but the
problem persists.

Can someone help me find a solution? Thanks for Reading!
