  1. Windows explorer crashes while trying to paste a file


    I'm not able to transfer files by copying in my windows file explorer cant copy-paste or drag and drop. Using the top icon to paste works strngely this one https://gyazo.com/6a657ab81b395880c1791d21e5d669f5. Ive tried several things like trying clean boot, cleared cache from file explorer , used restorehealth and scanhealth and also /sfc scannow, restarted file explorer. when I go into clean boot the crash still happens.I really like windows 11 and that's the only problem I currently have.

    :)

    Windows Explorer crashes and thumbnails problem

    Hi, I hope you can help me.
    Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Windows explorer crashes while trying to paste a file

    Windows explorer crashing

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
    http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54365

    I have tried the fixes listed in the above thread and I am getting the same error message as 'ktadie' (post 16). I think this is because I am running Windows 7 Professional. Windows explorer crashes when I open my 'Films' folder on my brand new 2tb external HDD. I have about 300 .avi files in this folder and some of the .avi files are several years old.

    In short I believe I need the same fix given by 'Wile E' (post 7) but updated for Windows 7 Professional.

    Thanks in advance.
