#30
Well, I thought this addressed the issue with explorer.exe crashing and the problem above was caused by explorer.exe so it is somewhat related.Originally Posted by topgundcp
With KB3020114 installed. It does not seem to fix anything. Specially with this problem: Memory leak ? icons and preview disapear, Ghost RAM usage
I don't think that issue was addressed in this patch. Hopefully it will soon.

@Charlie,
Look at post #17 and follow it to install the update.
Thanks Top. I had seen the MELERIX's way and a couple of other suggestions. I just left it alone as I was not having any crashes. And then today I look at update history and it had installed. Nothing I did. Good day to you. Charlie
I'm using VMware Player to run W10 and I haven't had the problems that you and jimbo45 have experienced.
Maybe it is a RAM issue.
I notice your specs say 4 GB
I've got 8 GB (1333) on my real PC.
IIRC, my W10 VM has 2 GB allocated to it.
My W10 VM (on Linux Mint 17) seems to run as fast as my real W7 install.
I just installed KB3020114 with no problems.
I really don't know if it fixed Windows Explorer because I don't think I was having a problem.
I have or have had Vista x64 W7 x64 and W7 32 bit and Linux Mint 17 Mate VMs. All are a bit slower than the real W8 host, but stable and usable. W10 was getting stable until I tried to update.
This Laptop isn't great at booting though. If I use a restore point it takes like 20 minutes to process, instead of 5 or less on my desktop machines.
