keeps occuring with windows explorer

I keep having issues with file exporler or windows explorer crashing.
The program explorer.exe version 10.0.19041.2075 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

I have already done DISM and SFC scannow no issues.

Hi, in what circumstances does this happen? What are you doing when it crashes?

For example, are you rt clicking something?

I also find, as I have Open Shell installed as my start menu, if I try to interact with that before it's completed a scan after logging on that that can crash file explorer.

I do not have open shell installed gave that up back in windows 7 days. however only thing i am doing is browsing to other computers on my network LAN via run prompt \\servername or \\workstationname thats it Stupid SMG with Win10 has alsways been an issue.

I would also try an Upgrade in Windows Update to get Version 21H2 Build 19044.xxxx then further Upgrade to Version 22H2 now at Build 19045.2130 with .2193 available..

i see that is provided now in window update, are there a lot of bug fixes? i have the latest build 21h2 19044.2130 from winver

this is pointless because i already have safe mode ready and waiting upon boot as a selection , i have also already done a complete sweep of my display drivers and reinstalled the AMD radeon drivers.

Do you mean, then (sorry to have to try to drag out of you the circumstances when this happens)

- file explorer is fine in all circumstances except when


SMG? server message block? Or what?

sorry i meant SMB with windows 10 its always been a mess when you want to browse to other shared workstation drive via \\workstation and have other windows open in file explorer that is when i get the issue when it crashes

In Safe mode those services and startup programs still works so no it's not pointless.

Ah that makes more sense... If all are Win 10, you shouldn't need SMB1 - and it's actually a disadvantage in delaying discovery, and a security risk.

However, there are some NASs that still need it.

Sharing in general is pretty fraught and frustrating. Once set up and working it seems ok- but I only have 2 PCs.

No that is not what meant SMB1 or SMB is for network path purposes and has been broken in windows no matter what flavor

anytime you go to a run prompt and do whack whack \\ workstation name and browse to another pc explorer hangs up and crashes this happens when many connection to different computers and devices. POS
