Hi Muzizongheng,

In the first problem, it may be due to bad memory or a driver problem, try installing latest drivers. And while the Windows Explorer crashed, was there and error code or text ?

And in the second problem, what do you mean "Not Valid" ? Is your wireless of, go to PC settings > Network > Connection > Wireless (Is wireless off, if yes than turn it on).

Please reply us soon !

Thanks !

Item number 2 is not an isolated issue.  I have this problem daily after installing the 8.1 preview.  It really is frustrating.  This problem has been reported widely - just do a search on Windows Wireless Service problems 8.1 preview and you will see them all.  The way I fix the issue is to troubleshoot the connection problem (right mouse click then troubleshoot) and when the first pass doesn't succeed (which it never does) select Troubleshoot as Administrator.  I think stopping and starting the WWS probably would have the same effect.

So come on Microsoft, fix the damn problem already. You know about it.

Hi Hrishi Patei,

These two bug can reproduce every time.

1. The first problem is only on chinese input method. If I change current input method language to english, it is ok.

So I am sure it is not graphic driver issure.

(No error message displayed. It just restarted explorer.exe)

2. The Second problem is also windows 8.1 preview bug. I am also sure my wireless setting is ok. And I had tried to use troubleshoot to fix it, it failed.

Can everyone help me ?

Annoying yes Sir_Richie, but it was clearly billed as "preview".  I have the same problem with my Surface, but I knew what I was getting into.  Cut Microsoft slack. If you don't like unforeseen issues, don't install Preview software.
