  1. Windows Explorer, desktop and all file explorer windows, crashing


    I was recently just using my computer, browsing files, moving stuff about when the entire desktop crashes and restarts as it does when that happens. This has never happened before and I've not modified the shell recently at all, hence I'm slightly concerned to what actually caused it. I looked through the event log and found these two logs:

    Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.14393.953, time stamp: 0x58ba5aa4
    Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

    As far as I could tell, this gives no insight into what's wrong. What's more odd is that I've recently checked using DISM and SFC to make sure all the system files are valid.

    Any help appreciated

    :)

    I can't do anything on my laptop

    So, i was attempting to open a .zip file with tons of files, turns out they aren't in a folder so they flooded my desktop full of these files, i tried going on Windows Explorer to go to Desktop and delete them but Windows Explorer crashed, and now my desktop
    is nothing but my screensaver, the time, and some other things on the taskbar, and if i attempt to press anything windows explorer crashes and im stuck with nothing on my laptop, is there anyway to fix this?

  4. Windows Explorer, desktop and all file explorer windows, crashing

    Considering, you still have 14393, you better upgrade to 15063, before trying anything else.

    Those tweaks might be worth using nevertheless:
    Code: Launch folder windows in a separate process reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "SeparateProcess" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f All instances of Windows Explorer run in one process and the Desktop and Taskbar run in a separate process reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" /v "DesktopProcess" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f[/quote]

  5. Huh, I wasn't even aware there was an update available. I'll give those two a try.
