Works!!!
I removed IDT audio and it worked for me - thanks!
I uninstalled IDT audio and my problem was solved! Thank you Soporifics!
I uninstalled IDT audio too and yay its sorted , but i had to do it through windows settings, system , apps and features , uninstall idt.
my control panel wouldn't stay open long enough to remove it the classic way .
I wish I'd read this thread earlier ! It describes exactly the problem my partner was having on her computer. I determined that IDT was the problem (Event Log called out IDTNc64.cpl), but the problem was that I couldn't find IDT to uninstall it. It didn't turn up in any list of Programs and Features, and the audio drivers were all MS. I did find it in the Start list, but disabling it there didn't fix the problem.
In the end I checked the Registry and found entries for IDT still there, including one for IDTNc64.cpl, which helped me to locate that file (in Windows/system32 folder). I simply renamed it IDTNc64.cpl.unused, and the problem immediately went away, even before a reboot. Mind you, it was touch and go - I had several attempts which failed because Explorer went down before I reached the file to rename it !
I haven't bothered to remove the Registry entries or any other IDT bits and pieces. We'll see how it goes.
I had the same problem, but noticed that the screen kept flickering so went to this site and have now solved my problem.

Hope this helps.
I had same issue. "this Pc" "file explorer "etc wouldnt open and would refresh screen.
I had apps set to 175% size for external display. When reduced to 150% I got file explorer working again. So weird.
Wow , i just did that (and plus changed the resolution from 2715x1527 to 1920x1080 just in case) and the file explorer worked again . It must be a new bug with the windows 10 update since I've searched everywhere on the internet and found nothing about it :|. It sucks having to face such minor mind boggling problems for each new update with a new OS , but at least after doing the usual fixes and luckily finding the problem here its all fine :P.
Hi Loius, I'm glad that worked for you.
Hi Mallik, cool, followed your steps and I've changed that setting! Thanks for the info:)
