    Explorer Crash FIX!


    Our old Dell Inspiron N5110 got this problem also.
    Taskbar keeps refreshing. Thanks many hints from guys above pointed me the direction to fix it.
    From Reliability History Monitor I found Explorer keeps crashing because of IDTNC64.CPL (type reliability history at Start)
    1. the issue was from IDTNC64.cpl, the sound driver,
    but I could not successfully to uninstall it from device manager nor control panel or rename the file or the folder.
    2. uninstalled High Definition Audio Device few times, problem remain
    3. tried to uninstall within Control Panel > Program file, yet Control Panel only open 2, 3 seconds then closed automatically.
    4. finally solved Control Panel shut down problem by going to msconfig>services>and disable Windows Error Reporting Service. see below sequence:
    Click window + R keys, type msconfig, Enter to open msconfig, click Services Tag and look for Windows Error Reporting Service. Unchecked it, then apply, ok then reboot system when it suggests.
    5. After this, open Control Panel by clicking Start > type Control Panel. Then my Control Panel open and stay put, won't shut down by itself.
    6. In Control Panel > Programs > I found IDT Audio and successfully to uninstall it.
    7. No more taskbar refresh or Windows Explore shut down after uninstalled IDT and Sound still works great!!!
    8. repeat step 4 to check Windows Error Reporting Services by clicking it. OK then follow system suggestion to reboot.
    9. Control Panel still able to open and remain open. Sound still works and no more refresh.
    10. From Reliability History monitor found no more Windows Explorer crashing.
    I am happy and hope above steps help

  3. Windows 10 crashes when opening explorer


    Did you shut off auto restart?

    Did you run sfc /scannow?

    You said that opening explorer causes crash. Great you can watch but does explorer still cause crash?

    Does explorer cause crash in safe mode?

    Did you create memtest tool?

    Not to be difficult but you need to post things that you doing and ideas you've worked through so we can cross them off list to get to root cause.

    Thanks

  4. The "Open With" prompt crashes explorer and causes it to restart - any idea on how to fix?

    Opening any folder causes the Explorer to restart

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: If you're having problems locating specific files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the Search and Indexing troubleshooter to fix the problem. It
    makes sure that the Windows Search service is running, and checks to see whether you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.

    • Go to Control Panel. In the search box.
    • Typetroubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all, and then click
      Search and Indexing.
    • Follow the onscreen instructions and check if it helps.

    Method 2: I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly
    follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
