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 error, on shutdown

    Hello
    I am experiencing a problem, after I upgrade to Window 8.1, i get "explorer.exe - Application Error" dialog every shutdown.
    Which reads
    The instruction at 0x42e93cd9 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.
    It then only gives me the option to terminate it. Sometimes it hinders m ability to shut down my computer, other times it closes after a few seconds and
    shuts down.
    My computer is a ASUS X550L
    Thanks

    http://www.kapilarya.com/fix-getting-explorer-exe-error-on-windows-8-start-up
    Open regedit.exe, go to

    and delete the highlighted string "Load". This should fix the issue.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    You are not sending the TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI intermediate certificate
    *http://sales.sauer-danfoss.com/
    Web servers need to send all required intermediate certificates to build the chain to build-in root certificates.
    You need to install that intermediate certificate on your server.

  • Webi Refreshing Error :database name not found and no default driver specified

    Hi All,
    When I refreshing the webi report from Launchpad  getting bellow error
    "database name not found and no default driver specified"
    Bellow is the Screen shot
    It is refreshing in webi Rich client (server and client tools are in same system) but not from Launch pad
    1. Environment :BI 4.0 SP4 
    2.  Server and client tools are installed in same system
    3. Created a 32 bit odbc, universe connection is responding properly and report refreshing in rich client(I could not find 64 bit odbc) .
    Can Please suggest me where I am doing wrong
    Regards,
    Mahi

    Hi Mahi,
    Seems like your BO server is 64 bits and you have created a 64 bits DSN; whereas your database requires 32 bits DSN.
    Try below steps:
    1.  Navigate to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory and open odbcad32.exe. This will open the ODBC Data Source Administrator for 32-bit drivers on the 64-bit server. NOTE: The ODBC Data Source Administrator that is located by clicking Start and Administrative Tools will only create 64-bit ODBC connections.
    2. Click on the System DSN tab
    3. Click on Add to create a new Data Source
    4. Provide the database details
    5. Your 32-bit ODBC data source is now ready for use.
    Hope it will help.
    Regards,
    Yuvraj

    You can't, Anh.  That's what people are telling you.  At this time there's no way to get out of recovery mode.   You're playing around with beta software and this is what you get.
    Tell your "developer friend" he needs to talk to other developers to see if this can be fixed, or have him replace your devices that you should never have let him play with to begin with.

  • Windows 7 explorer.exe Error "No such interface supported"

    Hello, i have encountered a problem with the Windows 7 RC. I have instaled it a while back and it seemed to work ok.
    Yesterday I installed IE 7 Standalone . The newly instaled IE7 did't work so i uninstaled it.
    I think that the previous operation messes something up in the registry because now when i try to duble click any folder i get : explorer.exe "No such interface supported". The same thing happens when i try to open Control Panel, or Add Remove Programs and other System utilities (the title zone reads something like : "::{26EE0668-....}\0\::{...}")
    If i right click a folder and select open it works ok.
    I have sfc /scannow but with no success.
    Unfotunately i haven't made a system restore point previousely.
    Is there any way i can fix the problem or must i reinstall?
    Thanks.

  • Searchindexer.exe and explorer.exe errors

    A few days ago I uninstalled Norton with Revo Uninstaller and installed malwarebytes pro. I restarted my computer only to find that approximately every 3 seconds, explorer.exe crashed and restarted. This went on for about 3 days. The event viewer showed
    the "The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 7864 time(s)" message that I've seen in other threads.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/38a0ac31-501d-4b84-9b75-5d64fd684e10/workaround-windows-search-service-terminated-unexpectedly-faulting-application-searchindexerexe?forum=w7itprogeneral
      Here's what I've done so far.
    ran malwarebytes full system scan - found a few problems but after fixing them the main issues persisted.
    ran sfc/ scannow (7-8 times... found issues at first but now returns the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.")
    Set 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\SetupCompletedSuccessfully' from 1 to 0
    left computer on overnight (windows explorer still crashing every few seconds)
    hard reset by removing the battery. Now windows explorer won't load at all. (no desktop, no modern UI or Taskbar)
    attempted to rebuild the index, which didn't work.

    I've installed the TVTrigger application (http://www.tvtrigger.com/) on Windows 7 64-bit. This application required Flash to work. I've also installed Flash 10.
    However, when I start the application, I get an error that C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe is missing.
    When I check, no such directory exists.
    Can anyone tell me what Flash version/installer I need to use to that actually populates C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\?

    Hi , The files you are speaking of are removed with the Adobe Uninstaller and then the Installer will install the needed
    files into the Flash folder.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html  Download this Uninstaller and put it on your Desktop
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe This is the FF Installer, SAVE it to your Desktop
    Since I don't know what add ons, extensions or plugins you have, Just disable them all for now.
    Follow the instructions for the Uninstaller, close all browsers, check the system tray. No programs that use Flash should
    be running.
    Disconnect from the Internet
    Disable any and all Anti-Virus/Spyware programs that run in realtime.
    Disable any Firewall that you use, except Windows Firewall
    Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, then Reboot. Wait until fully Rebooted, then Reboot again
    Run the Installer from your Desktop, then Reboot
    Enable your Firewall and your Anti-Virus/Spyware programs
    Connect back to the Internet
    Go to this Adobe test site to confirm you have the FP vs 10.0.42.34 installed http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
    Go to your plugins and make sure you have SWF(Shockwave Flash) vs 10.0.42.34 there and it is Enabled
    Enable Java-the latest is JRE 6 update 18.
    Then check your Flash folder and post back with the files that are now installed.
    Now if you have old versions of Java installed(check the Add/Remove) you would need to Remove them via Add/Remove
    and install the latest Java. NOTE: You can do this prior to the Uninstall/Install process. Post back and I'll give you the Java install procedure.
    Thanks

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 install issues...can't pick a partition and drivers problem

    I have two issues actually.
    1. When I attempt to install Windows the setup begins but then it says that some required drivers aren't available. It tells me that I can eject the installation CD for this portion and put in a disc that has the drivers, but I can't eject the Windows 7 install disc. The eject key doesn't work and there's no manual eject pinhole on an iMac.
    2. At the beginning of the setup, I'm not getting a prompt that tells me to select the partition to install it on. I don't know if that's supposed to come later but I don't want to install Windows over my Mac OS X partition.
    What am I missing here?

    I have this exact same problem with a 2010 iMac. I miraculously installed windows 7 back in 2010, but somehow in 2011 I'm getting this problem.. Please help!
    I've tried reformatting my whole HDD, fresh installing snow leopard and then boot camp, and the same exact problem occurs. I am using a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It is an OEM version - is yours also OEM?
    I have also using the windows 7 dvd to usb tool, and connected a usb stick with windows in it, but this doesn't help. I have NO IDEA what drivers windows is asking for on this dialogue box, as this is not specified. The only thing I can think of is drivers to read / write from the hard disk itself?
    I greatly appreciate anyones ideas!
