    Windows Explorer keeps restarting everytime i try opening it.


    Everytime i use windows key + E or click any folder, explorer.exe just restarts as i would restart it from my task manager.
    This also happens when i am trying to delete any files off my desktop.

    I have searched for multiple solutions, tried to delete recently installed programs, revert regkeys modifications, or delete BagMRU and Bags from
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell .

    I need help. My windows version number is 21H1 build 19043.1348.

    I'd try an update, current Version is 21H2 Build 19044.1387, just might fix the problem.
