Hi,
The thing is that yesterday I was on my computer, and then I became to have a problem with the Explorer.Exe, I install a couple of third parties porgram that I never had problem with, in my past computers, the problem is that I tried a lot of stuff, unistalling,

Hi,
Try to run sfc /scannow command to repair the corrupted system file:

  • Explorer.exe crashes when righ click on item in left pane on windows explorer nothing in system logs, explorer.exe restarts.

    Hi to all, i have a laptop running Windows 7 Professional. The problem is strange and havent had it on any other Windows 7 machine.
    If i click the folder icon on the bottom tool bar (windows explorer) then in the left hand pane expand the C drive then right click on any folder it instantly displays a dialog saying Explorer has experienced a problem and needs to close, windows is
    looking for a fix for this problem (cant remember exact wording) then Explorer.exe restarts. This happens on the local C drive and Network drives. 
    I though it could be a permissions problem so have taken ownership of all files & folders on the C drive which made no difference, i have removed the laptop from our server / domain and it is still the same / no change.
    Can anyone shed any light on this problem or offer any ideas on fixing it? the laptop is only a few months old and is i5 / 4GB RAM Dell machine running Windows 7 Pro SP1 office 2003 Pro, checked for virus & adware & all clean.

    Hi,
    Iv been running a custom built PC with Windows 8.1 (Win7 upgrade to Win8 then 8.1) Now since a couple of weeks after Win8.1, which was running perfectly fine up until last month when I Started to get these Explorer.exe crashes, Im  quite knowledge able
    with PC so iv done various things such as System Restore (as far back a could) and also followed all the guides on using the Registry editor to disable the Shell Extensions, in addition iv also used Registry Recycler but all to no avail. I then saw this support.microsoft.com/kb/2929203
    and decided to use the charms bar to shut down but it still made no difference at all.
    I don't really want to preform a refresh because i have so many Desktop Programs installed and i have only had this issue since around Mid way through last month, each time on shut down the instructions (referenced memory) are different but all structured
    like: "The instruction at 0x referenced memory at 0x. The memory could not be read. Please if you could help me find a solution to solve this problem with
    out preforming a refresh, I know this could be a a program but event viewer tells me nothing so I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Captid, welcome to the forum.
    The problem that you are having seems to be caused by corrupted files.  It appears to happen when Win 8.0 is updated to Win 8.1.  I saw one person who said he did a System Recovery to return the computer to the original configuration with Win 8.0.  Then, reinstalled Win 8.1 and the problem no longer occurred.

  • Windows 8 64 bit crash when i try to go to any "explore.exe", to acess hard drives C: or D: or icons in my desktop that go to C: or D:

    It crashes on explore.exe so any windows explore aplication it crashes, even in facebook when i want to upload a picture from hard drive. the rest everything is fine, internet works fine, skype, office! the main problem is when i click on my cumputer icon,
    it crashes, or when i upload a USB drive to open and crash,or any type of trying the acess to my C: or D:! what can i do?

    1. As you get the message when accessing Folders that contain pictures/videos, it can sometimes be cured by going to Folder Options > View Tab and put a tick in ‘Always show icons, never thumbnails‘.
    2. It is sometimes caused by a third-party extension. ShellExView can be useful to see which shell extensions have been introduced into Explorer. Read about it then scroll down near to the bottom to download the x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version here
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
    When you run it, click or tap on the column labelled Company to alphabetically sequence the entries. You have to assume that the Microsoft entries are bona fide, so concentrate on the third-party entries. Is there anything listed that is either unnecessary
    or unknown? If so, highlight it and click or tap the red spot (top left) to disable it. There shouldn’t be too many of them but you may find it easier to disable them all, then re-enable them (green spot) one at a time and try File Explorer until the culprit
    is found.
    3. If the issue persists, read about and then download, unzip and run Process Monitor version 3.1 (it doesn’t need installing), from here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
    Because of the huge number of activities, it can be made easier to understand by de-selecting some of the activities. The activities can be toggled on/off by clicking them on the right-hand side of the Toolbar, they are Registry, File, Networking, Processes/Threads

  • In my task manager I see still have explorer.exe, can I get rid of this if I use mozilla? would it be wise?And how?

    looking to speed up and simplify my computer

    1. '''explorer.exe''' is the Windows Explorer file system interface. <br />
    The Internet Explorer process is '''iexplore.exe'''.
    2. You'll need Internet Explorer for doing Microsoft updates manually or to install other Microsoft programs. Their website uses ActiveX for some functions which Firefox doesn't do.

  • Windows 8.1 gradually slows down after hours. Speed returns normal if restart "explorer.exe".

    I have Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) installed on Alienware M17x. The slowdown mostly appears as slow response in the situation such as open a folder/window, open/close/switch tabs in IE, drag window, and there's also cursor lag. It gradually
    slows down after system boot, noticeable after 3-4 hours, really slow after 8-9 hours.
    I have thought about many possible processes which can cause this issue, and then I found out that it's caused by "explorer.exe". If I kill "explorer.exe", the speed suddenly becomes normal. Then, I restart explorer.exe
    again, it stays normal, and then it still gradually slows down again after hours.
    I have checked driver or software compatibility. Also, CPU usage and Disk usage is normal.
    Please give some advises, reasoning, or solutions.

    SaccoSVD
    The process that is causing the problem is called sidebar.exe and I am curious why it is running on a win 8 machine as I dont believe it is built in. (It seems to have over 22,000 instances launched so I suspect either malware or a broken app)
    It is usually associated with a Vista machine, or updated win 7 machine.  Did you do do a clean install?  Have you run a malwarebytes scan?
    Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
    Update it immediately.
    Do a full system scan

  • Windows 8.1 - explorer.exe during shutdown/restart process

    Hi Microsoft Support Forums Users! Okay, so here is my problem, and yes I realize that I have posted this problem before, but it was never resolved. Everytime I reboot or shutdown my computer, I get a message saying "Explorer.exe - Application Error
    The information indexed at 0x0000000 could not be *I forgot after this*
    Press OK to quit the process
    Press CANCEL to continue"
    If I press OK, it shuts down just fine
    If I press CANCEL, it shuts down just fine
    If I don't press anything, it shuts down just fine, and the box goes away on it's own. At first, I had it fixed because I learned that any sync services like Google Drive and Dropbox cause this issue, and uninstalling them fixed the problem. Then it came back
    on it's own, and I can't figure out how to fix. I did try disabling the DLNA Service thingy in registry editor, and that didn't do anything. I don't have a NATIVE bluetooth driver, but I DO have a bluetooth USB, which it installed a bluetooth driver with it.
    I haven't tested it yet, but I saw that I needed to disable the driver on startup, which I did. So I'm wondering if there is any fix to this issue. ANY support would be great. Thank you!

    If no further help needed, please mark this thread as answered.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

    I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
    client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
    crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
    logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
    I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
    all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
    Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
    Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
    Any other suggestions welcome!

  • Need to restart the explorer.exe process virtually every single time I need to access a file

    As the subject/title says.
    This is on my replacement ThinkPad W530 which replaced my previous T530. I had my T530 from about April until earlier this week when it was picked up. The T530 gave me nothing but problems, including, but not limited to:
    Constant stalling of everything on the laptop with no mouse movement
    An out of the blue nonfunctioning microphone mute button and fingerprint reader a few weeks after I had the T530's motherboard replaced (because of the stalling issue)
    Every hour or so, I would get successive blackouts of the screen that were about 3-5 seconds apart. Sometimes they would reset the maximisation of the windows I had open
    But I digress; those were issues with my previous ThinkPad. Now the major standout issue I have with my W530 is that pretty much any time I want to access a file, I have to close and restart the explorer.exe process. This results from:
    Not being able to access folders or folder shortcuts on my desktop
    Not being able to use anything on my taskbar including the start menu. This includes hitting the windows key
    NOTE: this is an issue with WINDOWS explorer and NOT INTERNET explorer, which one member of your support team was not able to distinguish - this person tried to direct me to WiFi troubleshooting.
    The only way I have been able to remedy this has been to use task manager to reset it.
    In addition, you would expect a W530 with an i7-3740QM and an Nvidia K2000M Quadro to be pretty much buttery smooth, especially considering it's about 2 weeks old, right? Far from it. This is the slowest excuse for a new laptop that is this well spec'd I have ever used.
    I have done factory resets and pretty much everything under the sun within the realms of the Lenovo periperhal programs to try to remedy it (so as to not void my warranty) to no avail.
    If this problem cannot be fixed without me going well out of my way, then I am demanding a refund. Your support team, whilst generally helpful and *usually* knowing what they are talking about, have not been a help, and have honestly just been another hurdle to get past so I can get my money back. I do applaud them for the willingness to sit and walk people through everything.
    If this is the price I pay for the reliability of a Lenovo ThinkPad, then I greatly look forward to the glorious day I can be rid of Lenovo from my life and making about $500 while I go buy an equivalently or better spec'd laptop from quite literally any other computer company on the planet.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • Windows 8.1 issue explorer.exe error on shutdown NOT resolved and painfully slow bootup

    Hi,
    I have a brand new HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 8 64bit. I just downloaded the free update to 8.1. And then problems started. 
    First off, the boot up time has almost doubled. Just before the desktop becomes visible, there is a 10 second period where all you see is a black screen. At times this is more than 10 seconds. Then the desktop wallpaper can be seen.
    Secondly, the most annoying problem-, everytime I shutdown or restart , I get an explorer.exe error saying memory cant be read some instruction referenced memory at 0x00000000. ?! What the h-- is this ? I mean is this what we expect to see after updating to
    Windows 8.1 ? This is ridiculous. There is no offical response from the developers either. This is affecting many people all over the world and there is not even any official patch or announcement ? 
    I have read similar posts here and none of the solutions work. Someone says edit the registry, someone says remove the bluetooth service from startup ?! nothing and stopping a bluetooth service should not be considered a solution. Why should I not be able
    to use bluetooth just to resolve this Windows 8.1 error ??
    Please fix this problem urgently. And DO NOT ask us to re-install windows... I mean come on.. You think people have nothing better to do than installing/reinstalling Windows throughout the day ?? Bandwidth does not come cheap everywhere in the world either.
    Please release a patch or some guidelines on fixing this problem ASAP. 

    Hi, I have checked with that link on HP's site and for my product number it said that my laptop has been tested-Update your System from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
    HP has tested your Windows 8 PC with Windows 8.1 and has created update instructions.
    This is what they say. And I clicked on the Windows Store Icon >> Then I clicked on the Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Tile >> Then I clicked Download Windows 8.1 Update ( over 3 GB ) waited for a couple of days >> Then clicked next a bunch of
    times >> Selected some options that it asked me >> Then waited some more >> some more waiting >> and in 2 weeks I had upgraded to Windows 8.1 >> Then the above PROBLEMS started...
    So, as a request to the tech team or dev team, pls fix this issue. 

  • Windows 8.1 Explorer.exe memory error during shutdown

    When i upgraded to windows 8.1 when I log off, restart or shut-down an explorer.exe error pops up saying something about memory referenced at 0x0000000 could not be read (not exact amount of zeros) sometimes it doesn't. it doesn't halt the process but just
    sits there and then goes away after about two seconds.... I have downloaded about 6 programs after getting windows 8.1 and all the programs are very CPU intensive (Cinema 4D, After Effects and Photoshop) which means it could be the programs or the OS or even
    the account, after checking other accounts they don'tseem to get the error but it doesn't happen on my account if i just login then log off, if I launch Photoshop or something then it may or may not get the error.
    Please Help As The Computer Is ONE day old at the time of posting this.
    Would you recommend waiting for some sort of update or maybe uninstalling the programs or even wiping windows 8.1 back to win 8 (Not Preferred but will consider in case problem escalates)

    Hi,
    Since this issue doesn’t happened on the other account, this problem appeared to be caused by corrupted user profile.
    Please know that some appdata will create under your user profile, once you open one of these apps, and log off, system may fail to save files under the appdata. That should be the cause.
    I suggest we follow steps in this article to repair your user profile to see what’s going on:

  • Explorer.exe is crashing/restarting every minute - faulting module ntdll.dll

    I upgraded to Windows 8 on 11/18 and started having problems where explorer.exe is restarting every minute or so. Here is the error from the event log:

    I worked with Microsoft Tech Support for 4 days and ended up doing a clean install of Windows 8.  I had been told by Microsoft that they would escalate me to Tier 2, but they called back and said it was an HP/Hardware issue and I would have to
    work with them.  Chatted with HP, they said it was an OS issue.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Here is the dump file. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
