How come everyone shows the same so called solutions on this issue and they do not work. It is amazing how many people make these videos that are exactly the same and the crazy part is that it does not work and the fact that anyone with any sense knows that this is the first and obvious thing you try.

In my case I had to update the Explorer Patcher which is a program that allows you to be able to make changes back to how you had them before getting Windows 11 like moving your taskbar to the left side of your screen instead of the bottom, not sure if you have the explorer patcher but if you do then that could be what you need to do.@@rayszczepanski9049

What's more astonishing is that Microsoft won't even acknowledge this is an issue. It's like their arrogant developers are just sat there saying "well it works on my computer"...

[@maikha5127]

Already did all the steps. NONE worked!

[@sandorveres657]

Hello everyone! I used patches for Windows 11 that got buggy and I uninstalled them. And I got thus glitch. When I booted into Windows, I pressed Win+X and the glitch stopped and the only thing that was missing is the taskbar. I followed the steps and it is now working. Thank you so much!

[@linuxpc71]

Good timing. Having the issue now. Running SFC now and later will try the dism commands. Many thanks my friend.

[@EasyTechGeek]

Excellent! ❣️😊

[@joehmiami]

Sad to say it's back. I will run it again. Strange side note. if i type "restore" in the command bar it brings up the file explorer ???? @@EasyTechGeek

[@marki3691]

Don't waste your time. Just find your latest update and uninstall that shit.

I had an update which stopped my explorer.exe from working. But some updates you can't uninstall... including that dumbass one.

Windows explorer constant crashes for me now, constantly have to do CTRL, ALT , DELETE and jump into the task manager several times to get it to resume as normal for 1 minute before it crashes again. none of these solutions work for me. I cant click start menu, any icons, everything freezes except the window I was already on.

[@EasyTechGeek]

Try Repairing Windows Search cmd then run as admin and execute the following 3 commands one by one- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Restart. Once Done Trying Running System File Checker SFC Scan sfc /scannow Restart. Windows Updates- Install all the latest Updates and then Restart the PC.

When i right click on desktop it have the blue circle and explorer just restart nothing else happens

[@maemomo_mei]

Same. Have u found the solution

[@Wizen29]

@@maemomo_mei recent w11 update fixed it for me ... Before i tried everything nothing worked

[@eshepard14]

None of these worked, but I found the solution for me. Open File Explorer -> click view -> details pane Something about the preview pane causes the crash.

[@MingMingPlaytime]

Thanks for putting this together but unfortunately, none of these worked for me. I'm on Windows 11 and my file explorer won't open/respond suddenly. I ended up resetting my PC to fix the issue. I was able to keep my personal file but the reset uninstalled some of my apps.

[@joyous4eva]

How where tou able to keep your personal files

[@EasyTechGeek]

Today Tutorial is coming for the same. how to backup system image or files 👍

[@MingMingPlaytime]

There is option that you can select whether you want to keep your files or not.

[@andywu8558]

I did all the steps and the file explorer keeps crashing😢

[@leahjolley8822]

pls tell me if u find solution

[@nagycristian.]

I tried all of this but still got that crash after 2-3 sec.

[@nagycristian.]

after I was assisted remotely by a Microsoft assistant who tried every option again, the only solution was to reinstall Windows using the method of keeping the files, so all the programs were deleted

[@ilhamr0f11]

Same, after upgrade my processor 😢

[@Synikal_Gaming]

anyone else having file explorer constantly crashing due to lively wallpaper?

[@EasyTechGeek]

I wouldn't recommend to use and I never used it. 👍

[@Synikal_Gaming]

@@EasyTechGeek want to elaborate on why? super vague statement

[@miyaamotomussashi5690]

i cant even open the file explorer option in the control panal

[@francesettiroscini]

Los que estén buscando solucion al explorador de archivos que no abre ninguna carpeta: lo solucioné con el comando SFC /scannow en cmd (abierto como administrador)
