Microsoft has published a workaround for the Windows 10 Build 9879 Update Issue

From Supersite for Windows:

I promise you that someday I will stop writing about Windows 10 build 9879. But for now, at least, this prerelease version of Windows 10 continues to bedevil many of the users who are testing it, including me. So here's a new update in this long-running drama: Microsoft is now offering a workaroundnot a fix, but a workaroundto help get the recent and crucial update installed.

And in my case, at least, it worked: The all-important fix for those ugly and persistent File Explorer crashes has been successfully installed.

The short version of the workaround can be found in Microsoft's support forums, and Microsoft's Gabe Aul recommended to me that I try it. Basically, it involves uninstalling four Windows Updates, rebooting, then installing whatever Windows Updates are subsequently offered, and then rebooting again.

This update is suppose to be available for the TP Server version also. But the workaround is not inclusive. All updates to be removed are not installed on TP Server. What do us user of TP Server 9841 do?

Update:

Apparently this update is only applied to TP 9879 not to Server 9841 according to Microsoft tech on Server TP technet forums.
