Windows 8 fresh install. Explorer crashes and reloads every few minutes?

I have installed Windows 8 Pro x64 as a clean install. Every few minutes the explorer shell will crash and reload. The reliability report monitor is filled with "Windows Explorer has stopped working". 

I'm definitely not the only one experiencing this issue. A quick search online shows other people reporting their Windows 8 explorer frequently crashes. Is there a solution?

Hi,

does this happen also with a new user account?

Best greetings from Germany

please download this reg file from my SkyDrive:

http://cid-128fc518635be2dc.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MS%20Foren/Registry/WER%5E_Explorer_full.reg

and make a double click on the file to import it. If you can't do this, run regedit.exe and import the registry file there!

When the Windows Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp file under C:\Localdumps. Please upload the ZIPPED dump file to your public Skydrive [2] folder and post the link here.

you have exact the same output from the dump. So you also have the same bug. Call the MS Support, too.

I solved this by using the new "Refresh My PC" feature in Windows 8.

Yes, it was a pain to re-install my programs and drivers. However, Windows is running great and explorer does not crash.

One issue still remains; navigating folders in Windows 8 file explorer is slow.

On Windows 7 I could:

  • Open My Computer
  • Click
  • Folder I want is open.

On Windows 8:

  • Blue circle "waiting" cursor
  • Waiting
  • Waiting
  • Folder I want is open.

Here is another post describing the same issue as mine. Microsoft Community Why is Windows 8 File Explorer So Slow?

November 6th, 2012 6:34am

My explorer crashes aswell on three ocasions. 1. Randomly, without doing something, about 3-4 times a day. 2. When Starting a Chrome Application Shortcut. 3. When Starting Dropbox.

The dumps turn out to be huge, even if i zip them with 7-zip.

Since my explorer also crashes when i launch Dropbox and i don't have enough space on SkyDrive i chose to upload the splitted zip (webupload limitation) to box.net:

I use WinDbg from the Debugging Tools for Windows. Looks like your Intel GPU driver causes the crashes:

Looks like your laptop switches between the GPU with is included in the Intel CPU and your AMD GPU which is used for 3D. So update both drivers and hope this fixes it.

I forgot to tell you 1 thing:

After you updated the drivers, delete the created registry key. Appverifier slows down the Explorer too much.

November 6th, 2012 6:15pm

I was actually experiencing constant crashes of Explorer after an upgrade install from Windows 7. It usually happened when browsing folders with a lot of files or re-ordering the files (this would almost always cause a crash restart of explorer and shell. Disabling Windows Defender Real Time Protection stopped this - re-enabled Real Time Protection and the crashes happened again. Thanks for the tip about disabling Windows Defender!

Hi Andre,

I am having the same irregular crashing issue with my clean install of Windows 8 on an originally Windows 7 Fujitsu TH700 Tablet PC.  So far I have installed minimally everything else that is required and it works like a treat barring this particular problem.  I tried disabling Windows Defender also to no avail.

I have tried several different versions of the (Intel) Video Drivers including the original manufacturer's Windows 7 drivers which I am currently still running but still have the problem although arguably less often (it varies).  Intel doesn't explicitly support my older video hardware with Windows 8 and I noticed some visual artefacts with the Microsoft Intel driver that Windows 8 clean installs.

I am after some help or advice after trying your REG file to save some local dumps - very large BTW - and made my machine scream to a halt until I edited the registry again and rebooted.  I am glad I limited the number of dumps to three but I think I will make this one next time - it would nice if it is possible to make it a one shot and then delete/move/rename to get more than one if possible once my machine is up and running.

I can install WinDbg for myself with some tips and I would need Windows 8 symbols I guess which are also likely to be huge or I can post the dumps to my Skydrive and make then available to you. (iv'e deleted them but ill have no problem generating more and I am tempted to go back and upgrade to the default drivers that get W8 installs.  I am a developer but just haven't messed around with Windows Debugging and Symbols (to tell you the truth I don't particularly want to)....

Compress the dumps as 7z (LZMA2 with Ultra compression) to dramatically reduce the size.

In essence, Windows 8 appears to be a bug-ridden disaster. Never in the history of Windows have I encountered an OS that crashes/bombs/hangs this much, and this Explorer crash issue takes things to new heights. Absolutely shocking. 

I am running a Lenovo M92P Tiny with i5, 4G & 500GB HDD. It worked fantastically well on Windows 7 when I got it a month ago. I then went through the $18 upgrade process, and bingo. My machine has become a pig. 

Disgusting. Are we asking too much for the simple file structure to work correctly? I am not asking for 5 year old devices to work as intended at purchase. I just want to be able to access, manage and use files.

Andre,

Here's the link to my dump zip.  I would be grateful if you would please verify it for me?

My dump file on my skydrive

I've been fighting this problem a lot for weeks now.  I tried the DISM command you mentioned for corrupted files.  This worked for a day or so, then the problem returned.  So now I'm wondering if there is something else going on.  I did this command:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I also tried to use WinDbg to view the dmp myself.  That didn't work out for me since I really didn't know what I was looking at at all.  Here's what I got when I did that.  Doesn't look like WinDbg is set up properly or something.

(Also remove my settings, this will slowdown the Explorer. go to the registry and delete both keys)

I finally did what YoloSwagBacon suggested.  I had been avoiding it like the plague.  It wasn't as painful as I was expecting, however.  Many settings are maintained and, Windows 8 leaves right on your desktop a handy little HTML file containing a list of uninstalled programs.  I have to express that the process was really smooth, and WOW, the system is running like a champ now!.

@ amJad shafiq

I felt the same way about using "Refresh PC".  I found that irksome at first just like you seem to.  It's just a catch all solution for things that can't be solved a better way.  However, If you're using Windows 8 and have not tried this yet, you may want to consider it.  It's really smooth.  You really don't lose any data at all.  I like the "list of uninstalled applications" HTML file on the desktop after the refresh completes.  It makes things fairly easy to reinstall.  So I would urge you to not waste time on other solutions, but I understand that you're looking for something more sensible.  There is one other thing I tried that gave me some success solving the problem.

First, pleas read all Andre.Ziegler's posts in this thread carefully.  I had some luck with the solution he proposed to others in this thread, i.e., I did what is described here.  However, the next time my computer had to be reset do to hanging on shutdown the problem unfortunately returned.  The short of it is this command (if memory serves):

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Keep in mind this was only suggested to those who had shared .dmp files with Andre that showed "damaged files."  So this solution may not work for you, but I'm not afraid to suggest it, because I don't think it can harm anything to try.

Please, if you solve this some other way, post your solution here.

Good luck!  Best wishes, and Happy New Year!

I was having a similar problem after turning on Windows Defender.  Any time I right clicked on a file or folder in file explorer, the explorer would stop responding. When I Disable Windows Defender right click works again.

@BoBeach,

This is not the same problem.  This thread is about explorer crashing every few minutes.  So, while this is a good solution to the problem you were experiencing, it is not the answer to the problem which spawned the creation of this thread.  Moreover, the explorer crashing problem could not have been cause by Defender since I, for one, did not have Defender enabled at that time.  I currently am using Defender, however, and it's not causing any problem at all;  In fact, it's working perfectly.

Just the same, thanks for taking the time to post.

I've been following this thread for a few weeks and based on my crash analysis there's a couple of things I want to point out.

In my situation I was experiencing crashes at in duser.dll @ TransitionVisual::PushOpacityToLeaves + 0x121

I looked at a few dumps then realized that this is being called from the Animation being launched in the Immersive Shell (twinui). Awhile back

I applied one of the "nifty" registry tweaks that you see to enable animations every time you go back to the start screen, like at login.

Well after disabling the registry key I no longer get the crashes at PushOpacityToLeaves + 0x121 and would explain why folks who do a refresh

are *fixed*

The registry key is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid\Launcher_SessionLoginAnimation_OnShow

set it to zero, that's what I did in my case.

YMMV

I have created a 7z archive as requested: http://sdrv.ms/XT69M3

In deleting Andre's two keys,  I hope I did the right thing. I:

(1)   deleted the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\Explorer.exe] with everything under it, and

(2) kept [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe] but deleted the specific keys "GlobalFlag" and "PageHeapFlags".

Thank you.

The Explorer crashes because of a critical section issue:

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOCKS_EXIT_THREAD_OWNS_LOCK (200)
Thread cannot own a critical section.
This stop is generated if a thread (thread ID is parameter1) is terminated,
suspended or is in a state (worker thread finished a work item) in which it
cannot hold a critical section. The current thread is the culprit.
To debug this stop use the following debugger commands:
$ kb - to get the current stack trace. If the current thread is the owner of
the critical section it is probably calling ExitThread.
The current thread should have released the critical section before exiting.
If the current thread is calling TerminateThread or SuspendThread then it
should not do this for a thread holding a critical section.
$ !cs -s parameter2 - dump information about this critical section.
$ ln parameter2 - to show symbols near the address of the critical section.
This should help identify the leaked critical section.
$ dps parameter4 - to dump the stack trace for this critical section initialization.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000001b04, Thread ID.
Arg2: 000000001a496f50, Critical section address.
Arg3: 0000000013c9bee0, Critical section debug information address.
Arg4: 000000000106a8f0, Critical section initialization stack trace.

Hi,

I also have the same problem in Explorer.exe, random crashes referencing ntdll.dll and the taskbar and explorer restarting itself. Even more strange is that after installing the Windows SDK and its Debugging Tools I cannot use charms-bar Search and control-panel anymore. Again it is explorer.exe breaking and now referencing verifier.dll. 

I attached two dump files on my SkyDrive. Andre it would be great if you could take a look as my debugging environment isn't working anymore...

I downloaded your registry key, Andre. I installed it and after the next explorer crash explorer wouldn't come up anymore and reboot resulted in total black screen. I did a system restore point restoration and now my Bitdefender security program has problems. I think I have to go to image restore - been doing that almost every day after win 8 install. Would restoring to a system restore point before the reg edit completely restore the registry?

Is there anybody out there that can help me with this issue? I need someone to verify my account so that I can post the link to my dump file in the c:\LocalDumps folder.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Is there anybody out there that can help me with this issue? My Windows explorer crashes whenever I browse folders with a large number of files.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the skydrive link to my dumps file from the c:\LocalDumps folder

Installing the reg file from http://cid-128fc518635be2dc.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MS%20Foren/Registry/WER%5E_Explorer_full.reg may render your computer unusable without a system or register restoration. This is possibly malicious code. Beware and at least have restoration options prepared beforehand.

I agree with Worm8, I had this problem and had to restore from a restore point.

Andre- if you could please have a look at my dump file when you get a chance, I would really appreciate it. Just copy the link below into a browser to access the dump file.

this is no malware. It simply activates AppVerifier and dump creation.

Use this file to stop it:

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_HANDLES_INVALID_HANDLE (300)
Invalid handle exception for current stack trace.
This stop is generated if the function on the top of the stack passed an
invalid handle to system routines. Usually a simple kb command will reveal
what is the value of the handle passed (must be one of the parameters -
usually the first one). If the value is null then this is clearly wrong.
If the value looks ok you need to use !htrace debugger extension to get a
history of operations pertaining to this handle value. In most cases it
must be that the handle value is used after being closed. 
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000c0000008, Exception code. 
Arg2: 000000001857eb50, Exception record. Use .exr to display it. 
Arg3: 000000001857e520, Context record. Use .cxr to display it.

I understand that the regcode is there to activate Appverifier. It's still possibly malicious, since it can make the whole system unbootable. Doing the unistall code wouldn't help if one had no means to restore the unusable system. This could end up in serious trouble. So at least everyone should be prepared with restore points and restore dvds. Someone could verify the files, though. Would windows restore point remove all of your reg codes or would I stil need to use the uninstall to completely remove it.

Running sfc / scannow has helped my explorer crashes.

You also have Explorer crash causes by the Intel GPU driver:

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_HEAPS_CORRUPTED_HEAP_BLOCK_SUFFIX (f)
Corrupted suffix pattern for heap block.
Most typically this happens for buffer overrun errors. Sometimes the application
verifier places non-accessible pages at the end of the allocation and buffer
overruns will cause an access violation and sometimes the heap block is
followed by a magic pattern. If this pattern is changed when the block gets
freed you will get this break. These breaks can be quite difficult to debug
because you do not have the actual moment when corruption happened.
You just have access to the free moment (stop happened here) and the
allocation stack trace (!heap -p -a HEAP_BLOCK_ADDRESS) 
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000021101000, Heap handle used in the call. 
Arg2: 00000000150b4180, Heap block involved in the operation. 
Arg3: 0000000000000004, Size of the heap block. 
Arg4: 00000000150b4184, Corruption address.

Hi... I'm having this problem, and I think it happens when I install the nvidia drivers.

Heres my dump file: http://sdrv.ms/WHDsEI

March 20th, 2013 5:19pm

I had the following problems with Windows 8 Pro, this was on a new Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch, that came with Windows 8 Pro pre-installed:

The desktop would delay, go to a white screen, go to a blue screen, then reload. Right clicking the desktop, then clicking personalize did not work. The task manager would show CPU usage for Windows Explorer at 13% right after a crash-restart then after about 15 seconds the CPU would go to 26%, then if you clicked the desktop it would go through the loop, white screen, blue screen, restart. I could not change the desktop background image or the theme. The Image it is stuck on is the Sand picture from the Earth theme.

I saw a lot of posts recommending doing a Windows Refresh, which I tried, and it did fix the problem. The problem with a Windows Refresh is that all the programs I need are gone and I would need to put them back, and I suspect at some point the same problem would return. So I set out to determine what was causing the problem.

When I re-installed Windows 8 the problem would go away, when I re-installed my image the problem would return.  I tried removing programs and patches I had installed just before the problems started, but nothing would stop the issue. Then I tried logging in as a different user and the issue was not there.

 I saw where there was a patch to fix the early version of Windows 8 that was showing these symptoms, caused by the live tiles, but I had all the patches or the replacement patches.

Once, after installing my image when I "turned off the Live Tiles" feature of all the Tiles I had running the problem stopped, when I turned the "Live Tiles" feature back on the problem still did not return. But when I re-installed my image again, just turning off the live tiles did not correct the problem this time.

The one thing that consistently stops the crashing cycle is the following Registry change:

       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

       Change the string for the Wallpaper to the location of some other picture, like for Windows 8;

       C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows

   Then restart Windows.

  

I hope this helps someone else trying to resolve this issue.

Andre, could you please look into my crash dump: http://sdrv.ms/Zv84rQ

There's a history in this. This is a month old Win8 64 Pro and earlier the Intel graphics driver crashed explorer whenever I tried to do anything. After rolling the driver back 4 versions (!), it finally stopped crashing. Then the NVidia extensions started crashing explorer since there's dual GPU. That was fixed by disabling NVidia from BIOS and all the shell extensions. Then Intel driver auto-updated itself to a crashing version every day until I found some obscure admin panel where to disable auto updates for given driver ids. But now the desktop crashes 10 times a day and easily 5 times every boot before stabilizing and there is no clear reason.

I'm just totally fed up with this, after 7 years with linux I thought that Windows 8 actually looked pretty functional. It might actually work for me if it just were more reliable than a worse-than-average indie DOS game.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks! Just a follow-up on teaching how to fish: how did you get the stack trace? The debugger also found the dll symbols apparently.

I loaded the dump to WinDbg (X64), used MSDL symbol server and gave "!analyze -v". That didn't give any meaningful info, neither stack trace or symbols, and my Windows debugging skills ended there...

Wing tells you what to do:

!cs -s parameter1 - dump information about this critical section.

So run the !cs command with the value from parameter 1.

Andre, could you please look into my crash dump also: http : // sdrv . ms / 14PLJdu

I have this issue on my computer and my girlfriend's computer which barely has anything on it. mine was a windows 8 upgrade and hers was a fresh install of windows 8, both 64bit. the files explorer.exe.4908.dmp and explorer.exe.22792.dmp were created when explorer.exe crashed which are the most important to me. the other 3 dumps were unexpected as they were created just logging in which I don't notice anything weird during this time. please have a look its driving us crazy. every time we do a lot of folder navigating it crashes explorer. thanks in advance.

Is there anybody out there that can help me with this issue? My Windows explorer crashes whenever I browse folders with a large number of files.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. This is probably a dumb question, but what software is giving you those nice read outs of the dumps? DebugDiag 1.2 gives something similar, but not like that. Also I tried to install the symbols pack for win 8 64bit....retail, but after it loaded didn't really give me much even after running !Analyze -v. If you can explain this we could try checking ourselves to learn a bit more, I know I am interested.

I use WinDbg. Read here how to get the correct symbols:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311503

If you install updates you need the updated PDB files. So use the symbol server and don't install the symbol package

Great was able to achieve the same output as you. the google drive shell extension took a few moments longer, but finally figured out the missing command, "lmvm googledrivesync64". Thanks for all your help.

Andre, I am having th explorer crash on some new Dell Inspiron 14 laptops.  I ran the reg file which has created dump files, but they are all over 200 MB in size.  Is there a way to trim them?  Skydrive only allows 100 MB I think. 

The one thing we recently discovered is that on one of the laptops, right clicking on the touchpad seems to cause Explorer to crash.  But this isn't consistent.

SkyDrive has a 1GB file limit now. You could also zip up the files to compress them.
April 8th, 2013 3:03pm

 Is there a way to trim them? 

compress them with 7-zip to 7z files (LZMA2, ULTRA)

Sir Andre, please help me also with my explorer crash problem. Here's my dump file:

http://sdrv.ms/ZKhDkM

I just recently uninstalled several programs which I think affects this problem, although I don't know how to read dump files. I manage to uninstall programs such as Stardock, Rainmeter and Xwidget but still no effect. I already performed registry clean-up using Tune-up Utilities 2012.

April 23rd, 2013 6:21pm

I am not Andre and I didn't look at your file, but do not run registry cleaners. They are snake oil and will do nothing to solve whatever problem you have. In fact, they may cause additional problems.

Sir Andre, please help me also with my explorer crash problem. Here's my dump file:

http://sdrv.ms/ZKhDkM

the following file seams to cause the crash:

Mega Codec Pack\Filters\Haali\mmdinfo.dll

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOCKS_LOCK_IN_FREED_HEAP (202)
Freeing heap block containing an active critical section.
This stop is generated if a heap allocation contains a critical section,
the allocation is freed and the critical section has not been deleted.
To debug this stop use the following debugger commands:
$ !cs -s parameter1 - dump information about this critical section.
$ ln parameter1 - to show symbols near the address of the critical section.
This should help identify the leaked critical section.
$ dps parameter2 - to dump the stack trace for this critical section initialization.
$ parameter3 and parameter4 might help understand where this heap block was
allocated (the size of the allocation is probably significant). 
Arguments:
Arg1: 0ec591f4, Critical section address. 
Arg2: 01563e14, Critical section initialization stack trace. 
Arg3: 0ec591c0, Heap block address. 
Arg4: 0000004c, Heap block size.

remove those codec packs.

April 23rd, 2013 9:12pm

Thank you. I uninstalled the K-Lite Codec as well as the Mega codec, too. The latter one is uninstalled in Safe Mode. Removed all my media players that uses those codecs, then left with one dump file. I rebooted once, and it works fine now. The thing is that the Music in the Metro keeps closing/restarting. But anyway, thanks for the help.

Hi, you are having issues with QT runtime. Please try updating to the latest stable version of QT runtime with major version 4: http://qt-project.org/downloads

For some reason, the QT runtime is causing an NX bit bit issue when attempting a system call. Do you have some QT-based software (like, say, AutoCAD) integrated into your shell? The runtime is trying to access a protected memory area (a protected memory page) and run the code at that address, and the Execute Disable bit technology (in Intel CPU) is preventing it (because some process has marked that page as protected and disabled execution of the code from that address; this is typically done to protect from code injections and buffer overflow attacks.)

Seems like some software based on the QT runtime is trying to inject its code into Windows Explorer process, and since latter has Data Execution Prevention turned on by default (can be checked on the Details tab of your Task Manager, this causes a crash).

Hi Exotic Hadron,

I have Autodesk Products.

I try to update QT Runtime.

I'll let you know

Regards.

Hi Exotic Hadron,

Regards.

Hi,

If you're using Maya, make sure you use the modified QT runtime called PyQT, which is downloaded at http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/PyQt4/

Read here for more details on how you could build the Qt runtime for your Autodesk products:

If you're using Autodesk, I would also check to see your registry settings and probably set its options to allow the registry database to grow unlimited and remove the limit of 4 Gbytes:

http://forums.esri.com/thread.asp?t=287391&f=1148&c=93#902480

I'm quoting on this:

1) If you are receiving the "Low Registry Space" error, set the Registry Size Limit to "unlimited": 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control 
Key: RegistrySizeLimit 
Type: REG_DWORD 
Value: 0xffffff (4294967295) 


2) Reboot

Additionally, make sure to check DEP protection is enabled on your PC: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912923

If nothing helps you, add Autodesk software to the exclusion list and disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings

If nothing helps you, you can disable the DEP and turn off support for XD/NX bit in OS by setting the corresponding bit in the boot record.

To turn DEP/NX bit off:

1. In the elevated command prompt run:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

To turn DEP/NX bit off:

1. In the elevated command prompt run:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn


You can even create a separate boot entry in the Boot Manager and be able to boot into a system configuration where DEP is turned off.
To create a new boot entry and turn off DEP for it (all commands must be executed in an elevated command prompt; hold Ctrl+Shift pressed when clicking Command prompt icon on the Start screen to open it with elevated permissions, confirm elevation when asked):
1. Copy your current boot entry (the one you used to boot into OS) to a new entry and name the new entry as "Data Execution Prevention Off". This is how you will see the new entry displayed in the Boot Manager next time you boot into Windows.

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Data Execution Prevention Off"

2. Once ran, the command will return a GUID like: {8ed69d9a-4741-4307-a4f3-4a95326d4af4}
This GUID will be used as a unique identifier of a newly created boot record in the boot manager's menu. This new boot entry will hold all the settings of its master record from which it is copied (your current settings where NX bit is turned on).

3. Now modify the settings for this new boot record and execute:

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {8ed69d9a-4741-4307-a4f3-4a95326d4af4} nx AlwaysOff

NOTE: put your actual GUID returned to you after you've executed command in step 1 instead of {8ed69d9a-4741-4307-a4f3-4a95326d4af4}, the latter is fictitious and used for the sake of example only.

4. Restart the PC; now you will have your new Data Execution Prevention Off shown to you in the Boot Manager, choose this record to start the PC without support for NX bit.

WARNING! I HIGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DISABLE DEP PROTECTION BECAUSE DISABLING NX BIT POSES HIGH SECURITY RISKS AND OPENS WAYS FOR MALWARE TO IMPLEMENT BUFFER OVERFLOW ATTACKS ON YOUR PC.

Still if you think there is little chance you get a malware running locally on your PC, you may opt for turning DEP and run that, eh, faulty Autodesk product.

Hi everyone, I have windows 8 pro installed on my PC. I started to have this explorer crashes around 15-20 days ago. I had installed 3 file sharing applications during the past 1 month - Wuala, Dropbox and Google Drive. Before I installed these applications, the file explorer was slow( it used to take few seconds to load the contents of folders with too many files) but it wouldn't crash. But now it crashes frequently, so I came through this thread and I read it. So I imported the registry file and uploaded the dump file in my skydrive account-

Hi Dave,

I don't like that Mpk64.dll library that is popping up here and there in your Windows Blue 8.3 dumps.

I would recommend scanning your PC for malware, at least I'd do that for %appdata% and %systemroot%. Free tool from Kaspersky would do the trick. Or you could use any antimalware tool of your like.

Google traces this library to the KGB keyboard tracer/keylogger that spies for everything you type. Running a quick scan is a no big deal, so I would go and do this.

hi andre, i found this .dmp file in C:\local dump files https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=A5E572BF5C5325A5&id=A5E572BF5C5325A5%21103


ok, I got the dump. Looks like the OverlayIcons from the MS SkyDrive app causes it. use ShellExView to disable the sync icons.

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOCKS_LOCK_IN_FREED_HEAP (202)
Freeing heap block containing an active critical section.
This stop is generated if a heap allocation contains a critical section,
the allocation is freed and the critical section has not been deleted.
To debug this stop use the following debugger commands:
$ !cs -s parameter1 - dump information about this critical section.
$ ln parameter1 - to show symbols near the address of the critical section.
This should help identify the leaked critical section.
$ dps parameter2 - to dump the stack trace for this critical section initialization.
$ parameter3 and parameter4 might help understand where this heap block was
allocated (the size of the allocation is probably significant). 
Arguments:
Arg1: 07c4a724, Critical section address. Run !cs -s <address> to get more information. 
Arg2: 008365b4, Critical section initialization stack trace. Run dps <address> to dump the stack trace. 
Arg3: 07c4a6f0, Heap block address. 
Arg4: 0000004c, Heap block size.

Hi,

Same problem here for some reason. Tried to view the debug information myself, but I don't understand how to use it.

hi andre, i found this .dmp file in C:\local dump files https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=A5E572BF5C5325A5&id=A5E572BF5C5325A5%21103


ok, I got the dump. Looks like the OverlayIcons from the MS SkyDrive app causes it. use ShellExView to disable the sync icons.

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOCKS_LOCK_IN_FREED_HEAP (202)
Freeing heap block containing an active critical section.
This stop is generated if a heap allocation contains a critical section,
the allocation is freed and the critical section has not been deleted.
To debug this stop use the following debugger commands:
$ !cs -s parameter1 - dump information about this critical section.
$ ln parameter1 - to show symbols near the address of the critical section.
This should help identify the leaked critical section.
$ dps parameter2 - to dump the stack trace for this critical section initialization.
$ parameter3 and parameter4 might help understand where this heap block was
allocated (the size of the allocation is probably significant). 
Arguments:
Arg1: 07c4a724, Critical section address. Run !cs -s <address> to get more information. 
Arg2: 008365b4, Critical section initialization stack trace. Run dps <address> to dump the stack trace. 
Arg3: 07c4a6f0, Heap block address. 
Arg4: 0000004c, Heap block size.

is there any way to makethe zip smaller files because each dump is 200 mb and above
July 9th, 2013 7:09am

is there any way to makethe zip smaller files because each dump is 200 mb and above

you can use 7z file Format (LZMA2 and ULTRA compression ratio). This reduces the size more compared to zip.

I am having the exact same problem. I added the dump creator registry edit, and this by itself (!?) made the problem even worse, for no sooner Explorer would start than it would crash again! I uninstalled the dump creator and zipped the last five .dmp files into a single zip file, which you can access at

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=1F5A053A208BFF69!728&authkey=!AEowqWxKPSdllcY

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOCKS_LOCK_IN_UNLOADED_DLL (201)
Unloading DLL containing an active critical section.
This stop is generated if a DLL has a global variable containing a critical section
and the DLL is unloaded but the critical section has not been deleted. To debug
this stop use the following debugger commands:
$ du parameter3 - to dump the name of the culprit DLL.
$ .reload dllname or .reload dllname = parameter4 - to reload the symbols for that DLL.
$ !cs -s parameter1 - dump information about this critical section.
$ ln parameter1 - to show symbols near the address of the critical section.
This should help identify the leaked critical section.
$ dps parameter2 - to dump the stack trace for this critical section initialization. 
Arguments:
Arg1: 000007fc3a8c4db0, Critical section address. Run !cs -s <address> to get more information. 
Arg2: 0000000000d73f30, Critical section initialization stack trace. Run dps <address> to dump the stack trace.

Thank you very much for your prompt response! Following your posting, I removed the NVIDIA drivers from my system, and then uninstalled the NVIDIA card from the Device Manager; when prompted if I wanted to delete the driver, I responded "yes". Unfortunately, and to my surprise, explorer is still crashing all the time, just as it did before. An example of the dump file created can be found in http://sdrv.ms/1duCOOi. Once again, many thanks for your feedback!

I encountered this problem when PC Google Drive was running in background.

There are 2 options to bypass this bug (see also in Google Drive Forum):

1.  Remove the "System file" and "Hidden File" attributes from the desktop.ini file in "My documents" folder.
    This is usually the folder (when C is system disk) "C:\Users\<username>\Documents".
        
        Accomplish this by:
        a. Click <Windows Key>/x and in the popup select: "Command Prompt (Admin)"
          (or on win 8 Start Screen type "cmd" then right click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run As Administrator")
        b. Type:  CD %USERPROFILE%
        c. click Enter
    d. Type: CD DOCUMENTS
        e. Click Enter
           (Then by command DIR yo don't see desktop.ini, but only by command DIR /A)
    f. Type ATTRIB -S -H DESKTOP.INI
        g. Click Enter
           (Then by command DIR you see desktop.ini)
           
2.  Disable Google Drive option that indicates sync status on all file icons.
    You will notice if all files are synced
        by moving mouse over Google Drive System Tray icon
        and seeing "Sync Complete".

        Accomplish this by:
    a. Right-click on the "Google drive" system tray icon
    b. Select "Preferences..."
    c. Turn off the option "Show file sync status icons"

Try disabling SugarSync Explorer Shell Extensions, here is how.
August 12th, 2013 3:51pm

Hi, 

I'm having the same problem - explorer.exe crashing frequently. I hope Andre can help me nail the cause.

I'm using Windows 8 Pro, couldn't find a localdumps folder, but found several explorer.exe.dmp files in Crashdumps folder inside Local folder inside AppData. Is this the same as Localdumps?

Anyway, I zipped several of the most recent explorer dump files and posted them here:

Thanks very much, Michael and Andre. I've gone a whole day without an Explorer crash, so it appears to be working. What a relief!

Hi,

I feel really bad coming here again to pester you people, but all of a sudden, I'm getting explorer crashes again. I tried various ways of reading the dmp files, but to no avail. 

I've posted one here:

Hi,

I also have the same issue - explorer.exe crash frequently -  and I hope Andre can help me to find what is the problem. I'm using a Dell Precision M4700 and Windows 8. Can you have a look to my dump please? Here my public skydrive where I have loaded the dump relative to one of the last crash:

Jeremy, my notes regarding FineReader were initially referred to you. I am sorry to Paolo and you for messing the dumps. The links to FineReader's shell extensions are in your dump indeed and surprisingly, there's a dozen of copies of various versions of its extensions:

I would check with ShellExView by NirSoft for ABBYY's extension and disable it temporary.

Here's where it sits in your system:

I would also recommend turning on full dumps, here is how. Andre has had a good page of its own with a list of registry files that enable/disable extended dumps using application verifier and driver verifier, but I've forgotten the link... Let's wait for

Thanks very much, EH. Yes, I do get FineReader error messages occasionally, but nothing perturbing enough to force me to take further action - or so I thought. I used ShellExView to disable FRIntegration_x64, and will monitor behavior.  I'm afraid that while I was able to navigate to Localdumps folder using regedit, I couldn't figure how to turn on full dumps, despite the link you provided. I much appreciate your help.

If you still unhappy with manually changing registry settings, you can download the  WER_Explorer_full.reg file from the Repository of registry settings to manage Windows diagnostic and configure Windows Error Reporting (WER).

When downloaded, just double-click the REG file and confirm adding settings from there. Registry settings will be imported to registry. Use WER_Explorer_full_uninstall.reg to remove settings and disable extended diagnostic.

yeah, that's my skydrive folder. The full creates full dumps with AppVerifier enabled. The other only minis without AppVerifier.
August 28th, 2013 8:38pm

Thanks very much, EH, and to Andre for providing that resource.

I have done as instructed.

The reason I was having problems is that I couldn't find any explorer.exe folder among all the folders within LocalDumps when viewed using regedit on my computer. There is still no such folder, even after doing as told above. Moreover, all of the folders in LocalDumps give  C:\ProgramData\Norton\LocalDumps, but the explorer dumps actually go to C:\Users\Jeremy\AppData\Local\CrashDumps. (I use Norton 360.)

When using regedit, should I be able to find an explorer.exe folder under Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\?

I suspect that I just don't know where to look or what I'm talking about, and I don't want to use up any more of your valuable time, but it's still something of a mystery to me.

Thanks, Andre. Worked like a charm, and so I now have full explorer.exe dumps enabled.

Much indebted.

did you get new Explorer crashes? If yes, zip and upload the new dumps
August 29th, 2013 6:46pm

Hi Andre,

Thanks for getting in touch.

I did in fact had 2 explorer crashes this morning, but having switched to full dumps, the dump files are HUGE. I followed your advice and used 7-zip to compress them individually (set at Ultra), but even then, one is 175 MB, the other 336 MB. Skydrive refused to take the latter, but the former is here:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F9A7377418B487C5!446&authkey=!AAAr2yiIisIRq1U

I'm now facing a different problem. I don't know whether this has anything to do with installing 7-zip (which I did to upload the full dump above), but since then, I've been having frequent explorer crashes, and always when I right-click on a blank space in the rh pane of an explorer window (which makes explorer very difficult to use.) For example, I right click on a couple of attachments in an email in Outlook and press copy, then go to Explorer to paste them into the required folder, but the moment I right-click, explorer crashes. 

Because I was having problems uploading full dumps, I used regedit to switch back to the (1) setting. Then I reproduced a number of the crashes by right-clicking in an explorer window. I don't know whether these dumps will be of any help, but I've uploaded them too:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F9A7377418B487C5!449&authkey=!ACrT4IWAAfy61j4

This is definitely an issue that I have to resolve urgently, so I look forward to your response (and those of anyone else able to help me) with bated breath!

Thanks in advance.

Andre,

Further to my post above, I switched back to full dumps to see if I could create a full dump of the latest explorer crashes (that occur when right-clicking in explorer) that would pass Skydrive's limits. It came to under 90 MB, and so was just about uploadable. Here it is:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F9A7377418B487C5!450&authkey=!AJW7B4Jr5g9kzwM

BTW, I tried compressing using LZMA2 at ultra level, but failed, getting an error message that the "system cannot allocate sufficient memory". So this and the previous 7z file uploaded to my skydrive were both compressed using LZMA an ultra level.

Anyway, I hope this second full dump helps you to nail the problem.

Again, thanks in advance.

BTW, I tried compressing using LZMA2 at ultra level, but failed, getting an error message that the "system cannot allocate sufficient memory".

LZMA2 / Ultra requires a lot of RAM. 7-zip tells you have much RAm you need, make sure you have enough free RAM.

You get the well known Intel driver crash:

so update the Intel graphic card driver and look if this fixes it. Also run the uninstall.reg to disable AppVeririfer/dump creation.

Hi Andre,

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I updated the Intel driver, but the problem remains. Right-clicking in any blank space in the rh pane of explorer results in a crash. Right-clicking any of the folders in the folder tree in the left pane also does the same. Also had huge problems opening device manager to update the Intel driver, with frequent crashes, eventually got to it through launching Computer Management.

I've uploaded the latest full dump created after updating the Intel graphics driver. (No matter how much RAM I tired to create, it was insufficient for LZMA2/ultra, and the 7z file created with LMZA/Ultra is about 135 MB). Here it is:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F9A7377418B487C5!451&authkey=!AFHy516UjEjYQqo

As far as I know, I never installed AppVerifier/dump creation, unless this refers to the  WER_Explorer_full.reg file that I downloaded and installed from your Skydrive. Should I now download and install WER_Explorer_full_uninstall.reg?

Sorry to pester you with what probably strike you as very beginner level questions. 

August 30th, 2013 7:00am

still the same Intel driver issue.

Use ShellExView and disable the Intel driver shell extension. Also add the intel .cpl (igfxcpl.cpl) to the don't load list:

Andre,

Thanks very much for the advice. I have done as instructed, with great trepidation as I had to do things and go place I have never been before. I kept getting error messages trying to add the intel .cpl to the effect that I didn't have permission (despite administrator status), so for the first time ever, I went through various contortions to give myself full permission to edit don't load. I had to change ownership from Trustedinstaller to Administrators, and was unable to switch it back after adding the intel .cpl.

Anyway, I'm glad to say that I can now right-click in Explorer without crashing.

Microsoft Management Console (MMC) still crashes for some reason after a few minutes, and device manager seems to take far longer than it should to load. Otherwise, no problems for the time being.

Last time I asked about AppVerifier. Should I ignore?:

Thanks again for all your help.

August 31st, 2013 3:45am

yes run the WER_Explorer_full_uninstall.reg to disable AppVerifier and stop dump creation.

Download the WER_MMC.reg and import it. Create a new topic about the MMC issue and upload the MMC dump.

Hi Andre,

Thanks, I'll create a new topic for the MMC issue. I have the dumps already uploaded.

I was hoping that I had seen the last of explorer crashes thanks to you, but I did suffer another while opening the device manager - an explorer window just closed, without the shell crashing as it had in the past. For some reason even after running WER_Explorer_full_uninstall.reg , I got a pretty large dump. I've uploaded it just in case you're interested:

Thanks for your attention

Time to pass on the favors I received here from Andre and Exotic Hadron (though I'm still suffering Explorer crashes). You can use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to compress the dump file considerably. Use Add to archive, and set to LZMA/ultra, or even better, LZMA2/ultra if you have enough memory, and then upload the 7z file. I managed to upload a dump of over 600 MB by this method, using LZMA/ultra.

Andre,

Thanks. I was hesitating to pester you again, especially as these are only very small dumps since I turned off full dumps. The full dumps I was getting were over 800 MB, so doubtful whether I could upload the 7z file.

Let me know if these aren't useful:

the small dumps are an issue because they don't contain all data.

Disable the Dropbox Shell Extension and look if this fixes it.

Hi, Andre

Looks you help may guys solved the issue. thanks very much. 

Sorry to say, I hit the same issue, during last two month. one time, I tried to uninstall some program by time, it works. but those two days, I hit it again, but cannot find any clue again.

So, I will try to dump the file, and to analysis, so look to see if you can share how you use the Windbg to analyze the dump file. so that maybe may guys can help themselves.

thanks again.

Hi, 

i was having the explorer crash sometiems per day and then i found this topic. I've downloaded the reg file from your skydrive and i've added it to the registry. After i restarted my computer and my explorer never loaded again. i can still open programms through the tasks manager but when i load the windows i just get a black screen and the mouse pointer. How can i solve this problem? i've already tried to use the system restore a couple of a times and still the same...If i start in safe mode then the explorer turns on and works normally, but when i make a normal boot even i start it trough the tasks manager i get the error: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)"

boot into safe mode and apply the uninstall reg file:

http://cid-128fc518635be2dc.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MS%20Foren/Registry/WER%5E_Explorer_full_uninstall.reg

now reboot, zip and upload the dmp files.

i haven't done that, i've tried(in safe mode) 2 times to restore the system and at the 2nd atempt the main problem(explorer not loading) was solved. For now i have just the problem of having explorer crashing and reloading sometimes and i'm already waiting for the dumps to appear in the C folder. It has already happened but there wasn't any file created in the folder

I've managed to go the "events viewer" in the "administrative tools" of windows and we can see there a log file with some informations. I've uploaded it to my skydrive(3 files) and you can see it in the following link:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=181F7339F4ADBBC0!3443

I'm not any computer geek but i've noticed that the problem may be an autodesk file which is specified in the error. I would be very thankful if you could help me solving this problem or at least suggest me something.

Note that my system is in portuguese, so a few fields will be written in portuguese, but all directories, codes, etc are "understandable"

October 26th, 2013 8:48pm

after googling a few words i've probably found what the problem is and it's explained in the microsft forum and also in autodesk forum. you can easily find it by googling with this name"QtCore_Ad_SyncNs_4.dll". IT's probably caused by a product called "autodesk 360". I hope that unninstalling it will solve the explorer crash problem.

explorer.exe now crashing on a number of PCs after the new updates after 8.1.

Haven't been able to track this down to a single cause. Happening on PCs with completely different software installed. I'm pretty sure this is a MS bug.

Ok, what's the difference between doing the "Refresh My PC" and doing a System Recovery" given you have to reload everything anyway? Seems like the same pain in the butt to me.
