Action center failing to launch - "ShellExperienceHost.exe" crashing
Version: 10 Pro, 20H2 (19042.1266)
Hey everyone. I've been having an issue where my action center/notification panel will always crash upon attempting to open it. As such, I have not been able to receive/view notifications for months now. I've tried everything I can think of besides a complete reinstall since I do not want to have to resort to that.
A look at Event Viewer shows that ShellExperienceHost.exe is crashing every time I try to click on the action center. I've tried looking up the given exception code to no avail. Much of the advice I have found already consists of the things below that I have tried.
Things I have tried thus far include:Code:Faulting application name: ShellExperienceHost.exe, version: 10.0.19041.1151, time stamp: 0x6985bf98 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1202, time stamp: 0xc9db1934 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x000000000010be3e Faulting process id: 0x25b4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d7bf9981a68cff Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\ShellExperienceHost.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: df025549-e3d0-48d9-8035-9dcbf410b8db Faulting package full name: Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_10.0.19041.1023_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy Faulting package-relative application ID: App
- Running SFC /scannow
- Running several DISM commands
- System restarts
- Updating to the latest version of Windows
Sadly, none of these have fixed the issue. As I stated previously, I want to avoid a reinstall if possible, so any other advice is appreciated!
