Windows 10: Why am I getting explorer.exe and mmc hangs?

I am constantly getting mmc and explorer hangs, error code 1002, type cross thread.


I have run sfc /scannow which reports no errors


I have run DISM which reports no errors


I have started using diagnostic restart and the problem persists


Windows is up to date with Build No 19041.329


If I choose any of the Windows Administrative Tools, they work for a few seconds then crash.


Randomly my screen flashes and the Taskbar disappears. The only way to restart is via Crtl Alt Del


Display drivers are up to date


Any ideas where I can go to try to fix this?

some .exe files hang


In the last 48 hours, some .exe files do not execute. If started from explorer, explorer hangs. No error messages. These files run on another Win 10 machine. Nothing obvious in the event viewer. I note that *.exe file cannot be deleted when the system is in this state. I must reboot to regain access to the .exe file. sfc /scannnow shows no errors.

Any suggestions?

 

File explorer hangs

Sorry I got nothing more to suggest then.

File explorer hanging is an image issue. So if you can't do a repair upgrade or reset your PC then you can contact microsoft support directly to see if they have further steps but I am sure they are going to tell the same thing i did.

 

Explorer: not responding when opening folder with exe file


I have a folder full of *.exe files. When I navigate to the folder to read its content (files listed in "tile" mode), Explorer hangs for a minute or two displaying in the title bar "not responding". Eventually, the files are displayed but it is a bit of a pain. I modified Explorer's view options to not display thumbnails or icons of the files. But that had no effect. Is it that Explorer is attempting to read the content of these exe files to display the embedded images regardless of how I configure Explorer to operate? Is there anything that can be done to make Explorer display these files faster?
