The Explorer.exe application frequently stops and restarts.
Hello, I'm dealing with a problem on my HP Pavilion x360 (2016) using Windows 10 2004. Occasionally, Explorer.exe would crash, leading to the taskbar resetting. I looked into Event Viewer and found several details: the application name was Explorer, version 10.0.19041.264, a fault occurred at timestamp 0x4595555c. The module involved was ntdll.dll, version 10.0.19041.207, with a fault code of 0xc0000374. There were also specific fault offsets and process IDs recorded. I checked my system specs—Intel i5-6200U at 2.30GHz—and noticed the issue goes beyond a simple SFC fix. The community suggests deeper troubleshooting, so I'm seeking further guidance. Thanks!
I only use Windows Defender as my antivirus. It conducts routine scans and reports no issues.
