I'm not sure what caused this error or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If it crashed then a memory dump should have been generated. Run the Reliability History tool and it should show the crash in a timeline. If you click the details it'll hopefully provide a link to the crash dump file. The crash dump file, when loaded into a debugger can help shed some light but, of course, it requires the tools.
Are there any other logs in Event Viewer just before Explorer crashed? What were you doing at the time? If you were running an MS Store app then that is likely the culprit.
I had the exact same issue after installing latest windows 11
When I disabled recommendations and recent opened files explorer started working again.
Solution. To remove the Recommendation feature in Windows 11: Go to Start, open Settings. Select Personalization, and turn off Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Restart Windows Explorer:
Click Start, type Task Manager and open it.
Click on Processes Tab.
Look for Windows Explorer.
Right click and hit Restart.
Update Display Driver:
Go to Device Manager.
Expand the Display Adapters.
Look for Display driver that was installed.
Right click and Update.
Look for “Browse my computer for driver”.
Choose an old driver and use it.
Run System File Checker (SFC) and DISM:
Click Start, type CMD and run it as administrator.
Copy and paste the command below and hit enter: Sfc /scannow
Wait until the pc finishes scanning and repairing any corrupted system files then proceed with the next command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Once the scan is done restart your computer and check.
Clear cache of File Explorer:
Open Run Command ( Press Windows key + R)
Copy, paste then click ok the file path below: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
Delete everything inside the AutomaticDestinations folder
Restart PC and check
Do clean boot:
In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
Close Task Manager.
On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it’s in a clean boot environment.
Run PowerShell Commands:
Click Start, type Powershell and run as administrator.
Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit Enter:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$ ($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$ ($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml\"}
Restart once done and check if the explorer will still crash.
