explorer.exe crashes few times / day

Does anyone else experience this? RTM, x64

Randomly happens, just now when I tried to rename audio file, it crashed.

yea thats happens all the time with me too , explorer crached like 3 times/day this will beat vista if it remains that way

oh oh, seems like someone downloaded a dodgy RTM?

Or didn't do a clean install perhaps?

nope it's the legit RTM and with clean install and the explorer issue happens since the beta i wonder if they noticed it b4 the sign off

I was having the same problem, WinRAR's shell integration was causing it for me.

More people would be reporting it if it were an actual Windows bug. I haven't had explorer crash on Win 7 once yet, and I run my PC 24/7.

Disabled WinRAR (Beta) shell integration, still same, when clicking (not limited to) right click on mp3 file for instance, archive, etc

You could try installing the leaked hotfixes and see if that sorts it out. I used to be able to crash explorer at will by going to control panel, selecting one of the categories, then clicking the back button then selecting one of the categories again and repeating it 3 times. Used to crash every time. After I installed those hotfixes, it does not crash anymore, so I guess one of them must have sorted it out.

Explorer crashes for me when I run cmd.exe -every time :(

explorer crashes for me during certain tasks on the hard drive. And some hard drives also always crash.

I cannot reproduce your problem...

[FoxieFoxie]

Removing Winamp and WinRAR fixed the issue (maybe), so far, no crashes.

There can be many reasons for Explorer crashes both software and hardware (ie Ram or even dust) or even Malware

Best to try to stop all startups first, and also run a full Antivirus scan

If you're able to backup all your data and settings, a clean re-install should prove if its hardware related or not

But always confirm all manufacture drivers are up to date, and Windows Updates are completed

Sometimes its even external devices connected to your computer
