• Windows Explorer Ramdomly stops and restarts.

  Whenever I'm reviewing my files, be it on the C or D drive, windows Explorer randomly crashes and restarts, happened for a while now and I have no idea what causes it. However I noticed that happen when navigation control panel or searching for a file/location, for example, when I'm looking for a file to attach to an e-mail or by selecting a destination for the download of a file. It is really annoying because sometimes I have to move and copy files and Windows Explorer just throws me and I will once again to the location of the folder. I tried in safe mode, it happens again, but in fact it does not restart, it just closes and I have to open it again through Manager tasks, often crashing the Manager of the tasks, all in safe mode. I also tried the clean boot and continues to be, and sfc/scannow told me that corrupted files have been found but unable to fix, and I have no idea how to proceed.

  (1) run chkdsk as follows:

  A prompt by right clicking and select "Run as Administrator"
  and then at the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f r, then press the Enter key.

  If you are asked to plan the volume to check the next time that the system/PC reboots,
  Enter: y

  Now, restart the PC.

  Keep an eye on the screen and watch to see if errors are reported.

  If you know the manufacturing of your hard drive you can also download their diagnostic software.

  Another use: SpeedFan has an online health analysis function
  (SMART tab) for hard drives. It will show how your disks
  compared with other discs of the same brand and model.
  http://www.almico.com/SpeedFan.php
  Note: Unfortunately now includes a lot of bloat-ware, be very careful when installing remove bloat-ware.

  ===============================================================

  (2) run the command SFC /SCANNOW.

  This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.

  Click on start / all programs/accessories then
  Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
  (or "Safe Mode" open a command prompt)
  At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannow

• iPad Air keeps crashing and restarting

  Why my iPad Air keep crashing and restarting in Safari? I also think other applications. iOS 9.3.2 must be the culprit because it never happened so often. Any solution?

  Go to settings - Safari - clear the history and data from the Web site.

  If that doesn't work, reset your device. This will not erase your data stored on the phone.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

• Why windows Explorer keep crash since I installed internet explorer 9

  the answer to "immediately after installing IE9 Windows explore crashes - Vista SP2" does not actually to answer the question for me as I will be unable to upgrade to Windows 7 for a long time yet. I can't even uninstall IE9 because I can't in the Panel, nor can I access the restore points. How can I uninstall IE9 - is there a solution to this problem that doesn't involve the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Thank you for your response.

  just uninstall IE9 and go

  Back to IE8 using rstrui.exe

  to access the system restore.

• Windows explore keep crashing

  My new laptop has Windows 7 and whenever I open windows Explorer, I am "windows Explorer has stopped working".

  I also note that the icons of the system are all off, except the clock and it is all grey.  in a first time after the start of these icons will appear, but after that I open explore and he crash that the icon will disappear.

  I tried to update the display driver (I got Intel and Nvidia graphics, I've updated them both to the most recent version), I tried safe mode, disable all the service but the Windows service, I scan complete with anti-virus and anti-malware, I downloaded and installed Microsoft Fix It, but explore crash yet. I also tried sfc/scannow, but it says: "found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them" I tried to read the CBS but I don't understand who is corrupted files.

  I tried to fix the problem of system icons by deleting the IconStreams and PastIconStreams regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. He worked for a while, no more explore crash but after a few minutes, it failed again, and system icons is gone again!

  whenever Explorer plant for the first time, my laptop still plays this note that usually plays when I first get into windows, the screen flashes a little and then system icons will disappear.

  my laptop is still new and all the other function works well, just this problem with Explorer and system icons.

  Please help me, I can't use my computer without explore.

  I'm not very good with computer, so if you can, please explain to me step by step.

  In addition, forgive my bad English, it is not my mother tongue.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Since this is a new computer, you need to check with the system manufacturer's support, their online
  documentation, diagnosis and ask questions in the forums about known problems. OEM for the
  System manufacturer is responsible for the functioning Windows and hardware.
  So whatever the cause it is theirs to solve. And the system is under full warranty and
  needs repair or replacement. Added that even if you are somehow able to solve
  the question would still want you it documented just in case there are other related issues
  on the road.

  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer 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 are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

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

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

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check
  your antivirus, the main drivers and BIOS update programs and also to solve problems

• 8 windows explore keeps crashing but can still move the mouse

  Hello

  I recently bought a PC with windows 8 on it and it works fine. but every once in a while everything freezes except the mouse. I can still move the mouse but cannot click on anything. Explorer freezes, and all my open programs and etc. task bar clock freeze. He then answers for a second or 2 after about 3 minutes and then it comes up saying not responding not on top of one of my windows open program and then my two screens go black and I can't do anything.
  does anyone know why its doing this?
