Windows 10: Taskbar and File Explorer Continues to Crash Whilst Using File Explorer

My taskbar keeps resetting and my File Explorer keeps crashing while I am using File Explorer for trying to open games. I've already tried restarting my computer twice, I've run a command prompt already, and I've even tried resetting my graphics driver, yet it continues to crash. Could I get some suggestions on what to do?

Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

It's an .exe right? Explorer probably read its icon (to a cache) when it was a "small" file and now call the quits when it finds "such a big" file.

If you want to delete it, use the console after killing explorer, you can run the console from TaskManager (Application -> New Task -> cmd). You might want to try copy the file to a different location (copy, not cut) and see if explorer can handle it in the new location before deleting it.
