Seems like explorer.exe is failing to load properly at boot.
Hello TenForums.com,
So.... Ever since formatting my PC with Windows 10 1703, I've been getting this weird issue with what seems to be explorer.exe failing to load correctly at boot time. The PC boots, gets to the desktop just fine but the taskbar shows none of my apps icons (pinned or in the notification area) just completely empty, all it shows is the start button, and I can't click on it, nothing works, the taskbar is just dead, just like when there's a explorer.exe crash.
Only a restart fixes it, the really annoying part is that it probably happens around 50 percent of the time I boot my PC.
.iso was downloaded directly from Microsoft's update assistant or whatever its called.
My specs:
- 2500K
- Z77 Extreme4 (2.90M BIOS)
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- 128GB SSD as my main drive with a 500GB HDD as my secondary drive
- Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury
- Windows 10 Pro (10563.138)
