Task View/WinKey + Tab is crashing explorer (and restarting it)

smiglo55 · 29 Jul 2019

As in topic, I have issue with Task View, or WinKey + Tab shortcut, after executing it, it crashes explorer and restarting it, Windows 1803

I've followed some tutorials on web to fix it but from what I see I do not have service named:

CDPUserSvc_XXXXXXX

And I am not able to set it start to automatic or disabled/enabled

I do not even have it in registry key editor (regedit)

Is there a way to re-enable it somehow or fix that issue?

Try upgrading to 1809 or 1903.

Before doing that you need to backup your current install. The best way to do this is to use Macrium Reflect Free to make an image backup to an external hard drive. If you don't have an external hard drive now is a good time to get one as regular backup should be a part of your normal process. You can get a 1TB external hard drive for $60 (less if on sale).
