Thread: Windows Explorer crashes

Whenever I open My Computer and close it, an error message shows up "Windows Explorer encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" Why is this so?

Explorer might crashing due to a number of reasons. A Virus, faulty memory or even a corrupted file could be causing it. First, run a thorough virus scan of the entire system, then run Memtest86+ to check for any problems with the memory. If nothing works, try running a repair operation for Windows using the bootable disk.
