bug [Solved] Explorer.exe bug

[rudrax]

As we all know that Explorer.exe is very essential part of GUI based windows, but sometimes it shows problems..

Here what I'm facing currently:

• When I start the system, in some random time, there runs two process for Explorer.exe..This phenomenon doesn't happen everytime I start the system but randomly as I have stated already.

• The other one is, after starting the system, in some random time, there pops up an error window saying "Windows explorer has stopped working", then I restart explorer.exe and it gets temporarily fixed.

• Then, the next one..sometimes, doing usual business with the system, there runs 4, 5 nos. of explorer.exe processes in the task manager. Then I kill other inactive explorer.exe letting the active one to run.

• And the last one is, doing usual business, the explorer.exe suddenly goes high on resources, uses upto 25% of CPU making aLOLtz of noise..Then I have to restart the explorer.exe..sometimes it gets fixed after restarting and sometimes it doesn't and makes me to restart the system.

None of the stated problems occur in a row, it's random and can't be predicted.

I update windows vital updates regularly except, internet explorer, .NET frameworks, windows defender, malicious software removal tool.

I suspect .NET Framework might have something to do with it, is it?

multiple explorer.exe usually related to this tweak "Launch Windows Desktop in a Separate Process" link

disable this and you will only have 1 explorer.exe

Alight, this solves multiple explorer.exe bug..

Still 2 unsolved: suddenly going high on resources and crashing during start up..

Duality of Explorer.exe is not a bug - in fact, it's a good tweak generated by your Windows 7 Manager that actually prevents your sub-station from sinking completely during those crashes that you're experiencing.

I'd suggest calling for a donation of the Explorer.exe file from some member (with a clean system) as per your OS and flavor. If no member is ready to oblige you - I'm afraid you gotta get your butt out into the streets to beg, borrow or steal (Explorer.exe) :lol:

Hey eyes off my butts! :angry: You give me your explorer.exe from your laptop :naughty:

[dcs18]

I don't mind - you remember what I mentioned (about the modern OS.)

Yeah the modern one is your w8 pro, isn't it? but your sig says that you also have a laptop running w7 ult x86

[dcs18]

Yeah, that's parked at the office and strictly administrated by the SysAdmin - pretty much useless (them jerks refused me permission to transform it's Windows 7 into a more modern OS . . . . . . . . . arrrgh.) :angry:

But it won't be a hard problem for you to get a clean explorer.exe, I suppose :rolleyes:

Here, near me people have vintage desktops running xp..now the nearest win 7 friend of mine lives about 70 km far from my place and he's a noob so can't trust him to get a clean explorer.exe.

Suggest you add an appeal for Explorer.exe to your first post (and maybe your subject-line) - someone should upload a pristine copy, sooner than later.

But what about cleanliness? I trust you and a few other people here but that doesn't mean I trust all.

To repair your own Explorer, use an elevated Command Prompt to execute the following command:-

SFC /ScanFile=Explorer.exe

SFC /ScanFile=Explorer.exe

Alright I'll try it if next time the explorer crashes.

[dcs18]

That command resets your own Explorer back to Microsoft state - you wont have to ask it of anyone (also kiss your crash issues, good-bye.)

[rudrax]

Yeah but w7 manager is still detecting it as microsoft process..well, may be it i coded to detect by name, doesn't matter.

Well friend, I appreciate your intention to help but I'm on 32 bit platform, so not gonna happen :(

But it is a Microsoft process, isn't it.

Yeah but if w7 manager used CRC or MD5 checksum to verify the original explorer, then it will show some other phenomena, may be!

[dcs18]

You can always cross check your Explorer.exe checksum with other members - the SFC Scan does restore the file to factory settings. ;)

• I have this problem too!, sometimes more than 40% CPU!
• I have Win 7 x64

hi rudrax try this: download shellexview (shell extension manager) from nirsoft and disable all the extensions / items and restart pc. some extension might be crashing your explorer.
