Explorer.exe CPU clocked at 44 to 50% constantly. Stops when a program is uninstalled, then start again.

Hello

Recently, the explorer.exe was running my CPU to the 44-50% on a consistent basis latley.  This causes some reduced performance - slowness and another assoceated of issues such as the computer running hot, shortened of the battery etc.

Internet research and research on the forums of MSFT these days seem to indicate that it is a fairly common problem with no definitive answer.

However according to the responses I've read I have...

Has participated in a comprehensive analysis of the machine looking for viruses, malware and the Trogans, using my 360 update of Norton, Spybot and Live One Care Saftey Scanner of MSFT focusing on research to the C:\ Virus of the system and system32 folders in Solution Explorer.

Uninstalled all programs recent and plug-in is installed from around when I first noticed the problem.

Uninstalled components unnessearry a recently installed HP printer/scanner.

Momentarily disabled same device printer/scanner via the Device Manager.

Empty the trash and authorized the Bureau of unnessesarry documents.

Order of programs unnessesarry (icons) to load in the notification area of the taskbar.

Deleted the hidden from IE, erasure of history.

I am aware that the explorer.exe is related on the desktop and the taskbar, but no changes have been made as described above.

The only thing that I think signifigant and odd, is that the uninstall of a program or a component or plug stops the .exe to run the CPU so hard after a reboot.  However after a shut down and then restart as you execute either during the night comes.

I tried to use the paid MSFT support chat service but this has been experiancing "tecnicial questions" during the last days and therefore unavalable - then when she came back the line was only avialable in 8 hours, and then only by phone.

Any advice would be apprecated.

  • Windows 7 Explorer.exe unresponsive - Event ID 1000 (new construction)

    Hello

    I have stability with Windows 7 Explorer.exe problems on my newly built PC.

    Web browsers and Explorer.exe crash at startup or display the message "stopped responding" to the opening.
    The Explorer.exe "not responding" issue has become less common, but I think it's perhaps related to the instability with web browsers.
    I find no trigger that causes the crash, the PC is perfectly stable when left slowed or even during running scans.

    It may not be relevant, but for a short period, I found that typing caused accidents. Opening IE11 and click on the links on the homepage has worked.

    However the second I typed in the address bar or search IE11 would be "blocks".
    During this time I could also cause explorer.exe crash by typing the search / in the start menu. Still manually by clicking programs and icons did not cause an accident. Still happen when using the virtual keyboard.
    However, this is no past time, but the instability of web browser continues. Is a crash on startup (Firefox more than IE11) or "does not" after various periods of time.

    Test completed

    • SFC/scannow reveals no problem

    Thank you!

    The modules 'fault' seem to be all the system such as the MSHTML.dll files.

    However another, possibly third-party files, can actually cause accidents.

    It can help to see what modules are loading during accidents.

    You can download and run the following application (AppCrashView):

    Click on one of the mistakes recent iexplore.exe.

    Can you copy and paste the information that appears in the lower window that loaded modules.

    Do the same for an error in explorer.exe.

    Hello

    -Remember to make changes to your computer, after which the issue started?

    I would recommend that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Start your computer in safe mode.

     

    Step 2:

    If the computer starts in safe mode, there must be a third party software that is causing the problem to occur, this is why I suggest you put your computer in a clean boot state.

  • Explorer.exe FINTRAC CPU, does not properly

    The "Explorer.exe" process takes about 50% of the capacity of the CPU of my computer, such as measured by the Task Manager. Looking at the Services associated with it, not those running seem dubious, as if Explorer had contracted a virus. There are also some problems with the functioning of systems based on explorer.exe, but they can at least be circumvented if necessary.

    In the last day or two, all starting the computer produces a taskbar that would not - move the cursor over them produced the hourglass icon "busy, do not disturb", elements of the bac as the clock in the bottom right is stuck as they were at the start, and without tab appeared when programs or files have been opened. Who is today bypassed by stopping and restarting explorer.exe, but I've yet to see if the problem reappears when the computer restarts. At least if that's the case, I now know how to wake up immediately.

    The start menu (after the above workaround solution) works for access to the standard folder options aside the user right, Documents, music, etc., but the white area on the left side does not show the usual program shortcuts. The display option "All programs" work as usual, but by selecting one of these "Pin to Start Menu" produces no visible result. Already pinned to start programs still think they are (make a right click gives you the option to 'Remove the Start Menu'), but the Start Menu is in disagreement.

    I doubt that the hardware specs are important, since this seems to be a software problem, but here they are anyway: an Acer laptop Extensa 5510, running Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit, with 1 GB of RAM and more than 100 GB of hard drive formatted as two 'readers' of Vista (including approximately 34 or 45 GB of 'C' and had "respectively are used). (If anyone knows how to get the HD to format a drive I would like to know, but this isn't a serious question).

    A quicker way to get more information maybe be use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.

  • Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

    My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

    Does anyone know the solution?

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

So my laptop started running hot with the processor fans works at high speed. I have not installed new software recently. Can someone help me with the problem and bring down my CPU usage. I tried to change the parameters of the START property search (someone posted this solution on another forum), but with no improvement.

    Hello Design_engg,

    Try to start your system in safe mode:

    1. Restart your computer if it is running.
    2. Press and hold the F8 key for 3 seconds after your computer powers initially on.
    3. Once you see the menu Options advanced boot (or you hear a beep) you can stop.
    4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
    5. Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.
    6. You should see drivers loading, it may take a few moments.
    7. You should then be at the Welcome screen.
    8. Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.
    9. Now, you download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, Update then do a scan of your system in safe mode, to ensure that it is indeed clean! Once the scan done remove anything it finds. Simply restart your PC to see if your problem has been resolved!

      Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • Explorer.exe takes more than 90% of the CPU when I opened start > menu programs

    IM using Vista Ultimate with Aero theme. I am a single user of this computer. When I open Start-> programs menu, an explorer.exe process takes 90% and more CPU resources and remains to be done (even if I don't move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard) until I close the menu programs. What continues?

    Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.
