• Explorer.exe randomly crashing win7 64 bit

  Hello

  I have your desktop with explorer.exe crashing randomly. It is a standard desktop computer, another office with the same image do not have this problem.

  I disabled all the extension of the shell package to try to resolve the problem, explorer.exe crashes again

• Massive causing Explorer.exe download activity

  What could be causing the explorer.exe process to download loads data randomly. It happens only on certain hours during the day, not always and can upload up to 300 MB per hour if left alone. I downloaded THE counter and view TCP which are the programs that I used to confirm the problem, which also appeared on the netstat command. These programs have also shown several different remote IP addresses and names. I don't recognize any of them. PC uses Windows XP SP2. Thank you

  It seems that your computer is infected, as much as it is outdated almost only with Service Pack 2. Clean your computer, do the maintenance and then install Service Pack 3 and later updates of Windows.

• Explorer.exe crashing - related to the user account?

  A week ago my computer started to sometimes get an APPCRASH explorer.exe error that displayed. No idea what caused it or started.

  It happens randomly (or apparently) but I can also re-create this error at will by doing one of two things:

  (1) running any program of fullscreen (games)

  (2) / off turning one of the system icons in the options menu "taskbar and Start Menu Properties-> area-> system Notification icons.

  I am running Windows Vista SP2 64-bit.

  A side effect of this error is that my quick launch on the taskbar icons have a messed up display, sometimes they are blackened, sometimes they are cut in two, sometimes they appear in the wrong place.

  ALSO worth noting, is that it occurs only under my main account to connect. I created a separate account and it does NOT suffer this error and the two methods to recreate listed above fail.

  I found 2 other assignments with the same error message. I tried all the fixes on both without success.

• Explorer.exe crashes when opening a folder with mkv files.

  I did a google search and came up with a friend who had a similar problem.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/db90c294-05e6-4BBB-9182-a51e55e98349

  My problem was the unresolved question (that means third-party programs are not the problem?) so I was wondering how I can fix the problem. For me specifically is not a file of 4 gb, but the files just randomly with mkv in them. I havn't exactly tested to see if it has to deal with the size of the file or not, but I can tell when I open 2 GB files, they work fine. I say this because I can open a file with a mkv which is a little more than 2 GB and explorer.exe not crushed. Here is the info I get from event viewer.

  Please let me know what I can do to solve this problem.

  Hi BlackPhoenix23,

  In this thread the poster informed origin as "haali splitter" caused the problem. Looks like some programs non-Microsoft is the origin of the problem. We recommend that you check if a non-Microsoft program is the cause on your computer.

  To do this, try the following steps:
  a. open the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
  b. Article, follow "step 1: perform a clean boot" the implementation of these measures will disable all programs not Microsoft currently running on the computer.
  c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.
  d. If the problem does not persist in the boot, it means that some programs non-Microsoft is the source of the problem.
  e. to find the program that is causing the problem, try "step 2: enable half the services" to "step 6: resolve the problem.
  f. Once you find the culprit, check if there is any updates to update or fixes to the program. If you find, install them and check the difference or reinstall the latest program.
  g. Article, follow "step 7: reset the computer to start as usual.

• Windows Explorer.exe does not often

  Recently and I have no idea why, "explorer.exe" becomes "unresponsive" at random times when I use my Dell Inspiron 1750 running a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I was not able to produce this problem constantly, but it happens quite often. I can't see my taskbar, start menu or the desktop. I have to manually complete the process via the Task Manager, and then run it again to explore to rework and all good. And then finally, it happens again. Please help me. Thank you.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate - Explorer.exe freeze (AppCrash) constantly

  -Very well, Windows 64 bit Ultimate Edition here, clean install.

  I had this issue as well now (AppCrash Explorer.exe), BTW what does Microsoft on this one? You have a lot of reports about this in this thread, and if you do a search on Google also, so it is a GLOBAL problem. No showstopper bug, but doing the reputation of 'stable' of Windows 7 worth.

  It happens when:
  1. you copy / paste a single file or folder
  2 rename a file
  3 save a file with a text editor
  4 random

  Note: I'm a poweruser then please, do not answer telling me to "perform a clean boot" or simplistic answers as such.

  My configuration is very simple:
  ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card
  Intel Quad Core CPU
  Seagate hard drives
  Chipset Intel ICH7 (975 x)
  JMicron JMB36x controller

  Here's my question: according to all my research, this problem is especially on x 64 versions of Windows 7. And no, this isn't hardware related, because I had the same problem on 2 computers (fresh & clean).

  You want to settle this problem once and for all? Please let me know when you do.

  Change (an example of log events on this subject):

  Hello Zacchino ,

  It is always recommended that you take a backup of the registry before you edit the values, because incorrect modifications can cause strange behaviors and at worst could even damage your operating system completely, forcing you to reinstall Windows.

  We encourage you to try the registry changes, but only if you know what you're doing and if you do it carefully.

  The cause of this particular accident of Windows Explorer is related to SQM Client, which is part of the (CEIP) product improvement program. Under by default, where MachineThrottling is enabled in the registry, all calls to WinSqmStartSession in the ntdll.dll file will make Explorer crash, or Windows Installer installation to fail.

  So instead wait for a patch or an update from Microsoft, just remove and delete the MachineThrottling registry registry system entry. The MachineThrottling registry entry is located inside the following registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions

  * NOTE * If you don't know what you do within the registry, to stop and not continue.  Ask for help who knows what they are doing and what you can recover your registry database if a failure occurs.

  To make it easy, you can simply create your own small batch with the following command file;

  reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /v MachineThrottling/f

  At this point, you can close the registry and right click on your file or icon, and you should be good to go.

  If that is not good so I think that you are only left with clean boot that Explorer.exe crashes usually are upshots of third party application conflicts and minimal boot is the only solution I can think.

• Explorer.exe partially stops working

  Hello

  A weird one.  Brand new Lenovo T530 running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
  Machine starts and runs Ok, then go a little strange after "awhile", could be 5 or 10 minutes or hours, just using normal applications of Office 2010 or Office 2013, Windows Live Mail, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer.  Sometimes, using MYOB.
  'Strange' always in this case means that by clicking on the start flag icon and typing an application is no longer bring anything in the list.  Just by clicking on start it will display the normal list, clicking on which will bring up the app, but typing shows no results.
  Strange also means that, in some of these partial, broken as clicking on an icon in the bar tasks does not open the application.  For example Word
  Strange means that when often occurs in Windows Explorer it will display all the photos in the window, still tho also operates to allow you to modify records, select different objects, etc.
  Restart this resets until then happens intermittently.  Maybe minutes, hours or a day or two, but still happens.
  A quick way to get things working again is to left click on the taskbar (which still works in these situations), open the Task Manager, process open, click left on explorer.exe and end task, and then go to file, new, explorer.exe and everything works again.  Tho if Windows Explorer is opened then that will be closed.
  Then work Ok u skills that she then reappears intermittently.
  Abreast of updates from Lenovo and Windows.
  What the?  Nothing in Event Viewer.  There is no indication the machine think that something happened yet explore acting.
  Ideas on what to do know what is happening and how to solve?

  Hi Daniel,.

  Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Possible cause would be due to out-of-date video drivers, corrupted system files, viruses or malware, faulty RAM, infection etc..

  I suggest you follow these methods and check:

  Method 1: Run the hotfix:
  Windows Explorer crashes randomly in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2638018/en-us

  Method 2: Follow the suggestions in this article:
  Explorer Windows stopped working

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-us

  Virus scan: while the Virus scan, data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  Clean boot: after a repair, be sure to put the computer to a normal startup mode.

  Update on site: note this upgrade on the spot takes the same amount of time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  Follow the steps and let us know if this helps.  If the problem persists, please answer and we will be happy to help you.

• Explorer.exe (I think) breaks down regularly

  Hello

  First, I will begin by saying that I am not entirely sure of the weather or not this is the right category. So, I want to apologize if it is not.

  My problem is that explorer.exe (or at least I think it's explorer.exe) breaks down regularly. It happens when I am opening the files, making things with files (such as copy, rename, Zipper,...), or simply at random intervals. Then the image of the desktop background and the icons on the desktop disappear, leaving me with a purple background. The same happens for all the icons and the clock in the taskbar.

  Usually, it recovers after a few seconds, open records in the process of closing. When it isn't, it can be retrieved manually by running explorer.exe in Task Manager (this is why I suspect task manager).

  Sometimes it seems to get into a loop of crash, constantly crashing, recovering a few seconds later and then crashing again. This can be stopped by killink 'Windows verkenner' task, or translated: 'Windows Explorer' in the Task Manager. From, it still often causes only to crash again then, so then I have to use the cmd to do what I would normally be in the Solution Explorer, or restart my computer hoping that it will work next time.

  While this problem is not very harmful to my computer (or so I think), it's getting very annoying, especially since it ig going more frequently over time.

  I have already disabled the windows updates, because the problem always seems to worsen after updates.

  He has especially much worse after upgrade my computer to windows 8.1 (which was already earlier). He never continued to work for a minute then, and I did a system recovery to restore windows 8.0.

  I had this problem basically since I've had this laptop (which was in September), but I have not found a solution for this. I've done various analyses of viruses and malware, and I'm sure that it is not caused by a virus.

  If anyone knows a fix work for this, so I'd be very happy.

  Thanks in advance.

  ~ Ben

  If Windows 8 comes with the laptop, then you must take the issue by the manufacturer of the laptop.

  There may be a policy for downgrading to Windows 7.

  What you are experiencing with Windows 8 is not typical and I would recommend to take up the issue with the manufacturer of the laptop because it's their responsibility, under warranty, to make sure everything is working properly, including the software.

• Explorer.exe windows folder keep closing on Alienware X 51 R2 Windows 8.1

  Hello

  My problem is quite simple, but also quite a headache so let me give you a situation of portrait in the simplest of ways:

  Say I open a folder in Explorer windows, the number of files currently opened is not serious it can go from 1 to 15 and still give me the same problem.

  If the folder is open right? I can go and do other things, things... like browsing the net or watch a video. But all of a sudden the closed folder then actually do anything about explorer.exe closes so if I myself copy/move files that would repeal as well. Its as if explorer.exe decides to randomly restart.

  Activities that I do that would trigger such an array of thing of the web browsing on any browser, to the modification of files, simply watching a video, even if a file is opened. Sometimes I think that it still can't do something in particular.

  This question is a big headache and I had this happen with the default software supplied in the Windows 8.1

  My Info:

  PC: Alienware X 51 R2

  OS: Windows 8.1

  GPU: Nvidia GTX 670 & Intel HD 4600

  CPU: i7 4 core 3.4ghz

  RAM: 8 GB

  Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

  Please Note: I don't seem to have this problem on Windows 8, I also had installed Windows 7 on the same pc and have not encountered this problem so, maybe something is not especially nice with windows 8.1.

  Hello

  Sorry for taking so long to update this case, I ended up solving this problem, so I'm writing this on a case where someone else has.

  I downloaded a utility called SFCFix from this page:

  the normal SFC scan could not solve my problem, but this one did. Nevertheless thank you for your help and time of Naomi!

• Infect winlogon.exe, explorer.exe virus and virus Hosts-DNS

  Hi guys,.

  A laptop computer, that I'm not using has recently been infected with a virus from winlogon.exe and explorer.exe and one DNS host virus.
  I tried to use avast: edition free, malwarebytes and spybot search and destroy.
  And as a last resort, I used Norton Power Eraser...

  The problem is not cleaner Antivirus or antispyware can eliminate this type of virus.
  And not boot into safe mode and try to remove it from there do not remove viruses at all.
  I took this laptop a laptop technician where he took out the hard drive and scanned for viruses, but when I came back the virus or on it.

  What can I do to remove these viruses, since it has severely reduced performance on my pc and the virus's keep redirect my Web pages, I will be using internet explore?
  I think that the virus has embedded themselves inside the windows operating system.

  Thank you
  Brent

  Hi mate

  Usually the explorer.exe, winlogon.exe are running Microsoft files and these files belongs to the Windows operating system and must be placed in the folder C:\Windows\System32.
  If it a case then these are not viruses.

  However, you can try the Antivirus application free Avira Antivirus software.
  Google for it you can download it for free.
  Scan the system and check again.

  As a last option, I recommend reinstalling the system using the Toshiba recovery disc!
  That would erase everything from the HARD drive.
