explorer.exe keeps crashing unless patcher temporarily disables itself #3690
Comments
Please include what settings you changed in explorer patcher properties application. These should be screen shots. If you can, please change it to english first. Please include any other software you have installed that modifies the UI of windows. Do you have another AV installed? |
Please uninstall ExplorerPatcher and see if the crashes continue. |
It was a fresh installation of ExplorerPatcher directly downloaded here. The crash happened immediately after initial installation. I hadn't changed anything inside the ExplorerPatcher property. There were some other software installed indeed, but they were laptop's OEM software (Honor Magicbook Art 14, some AI-related productivity software, if that matters), and I think there shouldn't be any other antivirus. At least not on program list in "win+i" settings.
Not anymore. I saw that dialog after crashing in 10 sec consecutively 3 times, which said ExplorerPatcher temporarily disables itself, and then explorer.exe seemed to be working just fine. One more thing that came to me: I tried editing properties controlling start menu to win10-style. After crashing three times and self-disabling, this change seemed to persist and explorer.exe didn't complain. Yet another note: this machine is actually not mine, and I have no idea if I can have any other chance to do more field test. |
Please post what registry changes you made here. |
Try uninstalling your current version and install 65.5. Does it work? |
I believe this was the change. |
Delete that registry key, reboot, and then install EP. Does it happen then? |
I've just added this entry before installing ExplorerPatcher and I had no crash. Everything is working fine |
what version of EP did you install? |

I followed the note about excluding related paths for defender on release page.
I also read
and I found no event from
explorer.exe
at all, but onlyinfo
fromWinlogon
. The general page roughly says (my system is Chinese and so is this message, not quite sure about the translation) "shell program accidentally exits, C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe is restarted". One example of detailed info, only time and EventRecordID changes.I also enabled explorer console, but the command window closes before I can see anything that seems helpful.
