I have a repeated problem on my PC where Windows file explorer crashes. I have not been able to track down exactly why that is... which is annoying. We cannot repair when we do not know what causes the fault.
However, I am not alone in having this problem: Shraonir22 has the same thing going on in 2019, and I found that the third fix down for Shraonir22 (2019) tended to prevent the File Manager crashing for the remainder of each day.
The fix is simple, and as follows:
- Open Task Manager (hot keys: Crtl, Alt & Delete)
- In the Task manager, go to the processes tab
- Reopen file explorer, then look for "Windows Explorer" in the Apps list and highlight it (if we don't reopen it, it won't show in Apps)
- Click the Restart bottom at the bottom right corner.
This should restart file explorer and - hopefully - will end the crashes until we restart our PC.
