Windows 7 Ultimate explorer.exe has stopped booting automatically

Hi, my brother has an Optiplex 720 or 780, don't remember exactly. I just reformat and reinstalled the Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit about a week ago and installed all Windows updates. Everything seemed fine until yesterday, when he said that he went to for use and he was just a black screen with the mouse cursor. After checking the internet, I discovered that the explorer.exe process is missing from the Task Manager. I am able to start explorer.exe in Task Manager myself, but how to get Windows to do as it should? There are no errors related to the problem at all.

Here's what I've done:

System Restore did not fix the it.

It does the same thing in safe mode.

Video drivers are to.date according to Windows Update.

In regedit, explorer.exe is next to the shell

There was never any antivirus installed on this installation

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

If you had any antivirus installed don't then its probable infection. Clean install Windows 7 after wiping disk preference...

Then use the Windows 7 upgrade license to Windows 10:

    Error to ArcSpl.ax as the failed Module points.  This module belongs to the ArcSoft MPEG splitter program.  The module goes back to Wed Jun 14 00:27:26 2006 and is probably not compatible with Win7.
    Please uninstall the ArcSoft program and see if that stops at the AppCrashes.

  • Explorer.exe has stopped responding during the slide show.

    I am not sure what happened, but I was downloading of images for a slideshow and I didn't notice that my laptop has been restarted due to an update. I thought it would be to find until I started to run into an error with explorer.exe. When I go in the folder of the situation to show them as a slideshow of the pictures, the screen goes black, as it is supposed to and then crashes. From there on, I get a notification that explorer.exe has stopped working. Do you think the problem is a corrupted image file should I remove? It doesn't bother me if I have to because I know where to find them again.

    Hi WyldFyre254,

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly or may prevent Windows from starting correctly.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    If the problem persists in safe mode run clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Step 2: Recreate the slideshow and check that it works very well.

    Hello

    The computer works fine in safe mode, I suggest you perform a clean boot in order to check whether a third-party program or service that runs in the background is the origin of the problem.

    Refer to this article for help:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135


    Note:
    please check that you put your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article above.

  • Explorer.exe has stopped working

    Original title: explorer.exe

    My explorer.exe has stopped working several times and I tried to start in the Task Manager, but he tells me that he has ceased to work every time

    Often, a certain instability in Windows Explorer is due to the defective shell extensions and addons.

    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?
    If you continue to experience the problem, consider creating the hierarchy of following registry keys in the registry:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\
    In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to%systemdrive%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrive file and provide a link.

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. It happens when you navigate to a specific application? If so, name the application you initiate.

    The causes of .exe error messages can vary considerably. However, most of the .exe errors result from a corrupted or damaged file ntdll.dll version itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem exists, try the next method.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to perform a file system (CFS) Checker scan to check the alteration of system files.

    1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    For more information, refer to this link:

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

  • get the message "setup.exe has stopped working" when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows machine 7

    When you try to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows machine 7, I get a message "setup.exe has stopped working". I tried to run setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework installed on the affected machine 4.5.1. Could be the cause of this problem? Or does anyone know the root cause of this error?

    Hi - are you getting it at the beginning of installation, during or after 100% progression ended?

    Is it fair to LabVIEW you install, or is it drivers too, in this case, what was the last big package that has been installed at the time?

    This can be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver:
