How to fix Windows Explorer restart and crashing

There are a good number of methods to resolve this restart and crash loop. Now, you will learn about them. However, you should try these troubleshooting methods in safe mode or clean bootenwork.

Completely uninstall recently installed programs:

You have to find out when you started experiencing this problem. What changes have you made to your PC? If you are experiencing this problem after trying to install or uninstall a program, then try to completely remove it from your PC again. If it is an antivirus program, you can download its dedicated uninstaller tool. Most antivirus providers provide a tool that helps remove it from the PC completely. Hopefully, this should fix the window explorer resumes and the loop keeps crashing.

Find and disable problematic startup programs or services

Sometimes problems with your graphics card can make Windows Explorer unresponsive or problematic. It is possible that the video card problem is creating a restart loop of explorer.exe. Therefore, try updating the graphics card and see if it fixes the problem. Here I have explained how to update the drivers from Device Manager.

Copy explorer.exe to the system 32 folders:

I'm not sure about this. But, in the Microsoft Answers forum, I found this suggestion. Over 600 people found it helpful. Therefore, I am also suggesting it to you.

• Just go to C: \ Windows
• Explorer.exe search and copy
• Now, paste it into C: \ Windows \ System32.
• Now, restart your PC and see if it "fixes Windows Explorer and keeps crashing again".

Run the SFC command:

This is another common way to fix your problem. Follow these points:

• Press Win + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type sfc / scannow and press enter.
• Wait until the process is complete.

Add a new user:

You can try to create a new user. Then try to remove the old one, if it fixes then windows explorer starts the problem again. In case, it does not help, follow the next methods.

Scan for viruses:

In PC infected viruses, the Explorer.exe problem occurs more frequently. In addition, you may experience this problem only when you are going to open a specific folder or file explorer. In that case, a full scan with a good antivirus program can help. It will detect and remove malicious programs and viruses. It can also correct the issue of restarting Windows Explorer.

Some ways to prevent the final problem of fixing Windows Explorer:

I hope, you will no longer need other solutions to solve the Explorer problem. The previous methods will work most of the time. In case, you still need help, I suggest you do a system restore. You can also find and fix Ram problems. Because, due to memory problems, Windows cannot restart the explorer as well as restart the loop problem. Finding and fixing registry errors can also help you. For this, I recommend you to use reliable third party programs like CCleaner.

I recommend you search online for other solutions. If you leave, clean the installation of Windows or reset it. This should work for most problems.
