Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

jcgriff2 I'm interested in knowing if it is Classic Shell or not this time. If it is then I will have to decided if the occasional crashes are worth the benefits. If it is something else, then I certainly would like to know what it is to research the issue further. I hope cluberti can figure it...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

To cluberti: Well it took a while but Explorer just crashed again... I have included a link to the zipped crash dump file. Thanks for looking at it and seeing if it is still Classic Shell or possibly another program. explorer.exe.228 BD

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

I found that there is a newer version...actually 3 versions removed from mine. So I uninstalled my version and re-installed the latest version to see if maybe this will solve the issue with ClassicShell. Since it could be weeks before I know, only time will tell. Thanks to everyone who chipped...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

cluberti: Thanks for taking a look at my dmp file. You said..."can you reproduce this without something installed that modifies the very thing msutb is designed to create/draw/manage?" Since all of this is well over my pay-grade, I think you are saying ClassicShell is the likely culprit and can...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

Do you run Noscripts or have an ad blocker? When I open the link, it loads a code (Captcha) that must be filled in before you can download it.

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

Jared: Thanks for the help. It's interesting that since starting this post, I haven't had a crash (I probably shouldn't have said that). So until one happens, I am sort of on hold. If and when it does occur again, do you want me to run !analyze -v before zipping up the crash dump or just...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

Thanks John: If I understand you...my crash dump file will not provide any usable clues to what is causing the crashes. Kinda makes you wonder why a dump file is generated if it's not going to provide anything useful. So unless you tell me otherwise, I guess I'll abandon the crash dump reading...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

John: When Explorer crashes, it does leave a dmp file (C:\user\my computer\appdata\local\crashdumps\explorer.exe.#####.dmp {where # is a set of numbers}). I can open it in the Windows Debugging tool for Windows 64bit. I just don't know how to read and interpret it. When Explorer crashes there...

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

jcgriff2: Thanks for the reply but are you saying that getting the crash dump file read wouldn't give me a more direct clue as to what's causing the random Explorer crash?

Windows "Explorer" randomly crashes

My computer's Window "Explorer" started randomly crashing about a month ago. It doesn't seem to happen more than 1 or 2 times a week. The computer doesn't "Blue Screen" but Explorer stops working. When it does you must restart "Explorer" to get computer functions back. I saved one of the mini...
