I don't see anything suspicious in the HJT log. Can you download ShellExView and post the log from it? You make one by going to View>Select All then File>Save Selected Items

Shell extensions are like browser plugins for Explorer. If they're improperly written they can crash their host. It's not a host fault. :)

Can we change the shell extensions ? and if so do you have any links ?

Been having crashes off and on the last few days. Today no problems. Running very smooth. I've been looking at services and software. Yesterday I updated Java and also I re-checked Indexing Service. Wouldn't think any of these would have anything to do with these freeze ups.

I installed the latest Nvidia nForce driver http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and no more hanging or freeze ups. It was happening all the time on 7 (64) with various browsers and software so I knew it was a driver or hardware issue.

how do I get the DMP file ?

Download this file to your desktop:

Make a double click on it. When Explorer crashes again, you'll find a dmp file under C:\Localdumps. Please uplod this file to RS.com ad post the link here.

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
