EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes.
Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied.
I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft?
After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time.
I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing.
It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer:
Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Network Drive Searches Crashes Explorer.exe
So I have about eight Win7 Pro 64-bit systems in our office and 3 of them crash Explorer.exe every time you try to search a network drive from within Windows Explorer. The other Win7 systems do not have this problem. The 3 systems that have the issue do not experience the same crash when searching local drives, only network drives. I tried uninstalling antivirus software, but that did not help. Below is the Event log description of the crash. The log also mentions ntdll.dll so I checked the file's  digital signature, date, and size on the suspect systems and everything looks the same as the systems without the issue. Log Name:     Application Source:       Application Error Date:         11/20/2009 1:18:38 PM Event ID:     1000 Task Category: (100) Level:        Error Keywords:     Classic User:         N/A Computer:     Mushu.corp.rtaarchitects.com Description: Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7600.16404, time stamp: 0x4a765771 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5be02b Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000004d174 Faulting process id: 0x530 Faulting application start time: 0x01ca6a18ee23014d Faulting application path: C:WindowsExplorer.EXE Faulting module path: C:WindowsSYSTEM32 tdll.dll Report Id: e29505d6-d611-11de-92d2-001372391cc1

Explorer.exe Crashes When Browsing Network Files
I am seeing Explorer.exe crash when opening certain network folders. It might do it two or three times in a row and then opens it ok. There is nothing special about the folders, they just contain regular files and folders (for example, no video or pictures files, etc). Just now, I can't reproduce it, if I do again, I'll post the error info. If I click to restart Explorer, a new explorer window opens - you don't get explorer back running your desktop and Start Menu. These folders present no issues on any other OS. Is anyone else seeing this?

No Such Interface Supported, Explorer.exe Error
Well after 2 days of playing with windows 7, I went back to Vista. I had multiple problems with win7. IE8 won't download files, pc would not shut down completely, and the last straw "No such interface supported" Explore.exe error. I am an experienced pc user and IT Professional and was trying to tweak Win7 to my liking, but after the interface error, I couldn't open explorer or most applications. I searched and searched for a fix, but none was found. Sadly I have to give Win7 two thumbs down. The GUI was a bit awkward to start, but responsive. After a few tweaks, quick launch bar and start menu basically, I found it to be user friendly and intuitive to start out. Once I delved deeper into the OS and tried to customize it (no hacks), I became less and less enamored with the new OS. Although a fine improvement to Vista, there are still bugs (IE8 and interface) that will undoubtedly affect casual users as well as the more sever bugs that will affect experienced users that customize their OS. I just don't understand how Microsoft could release a new OS that is fine out of the box, but fails miserably once a user attempts to customize it. Have they not learned their lesson with the Vista release?? Vista is a pretty stable OS despite being a resource hog. With updates and greater compatibility, due to software designers adapting to the new architecture, Vista is a pretty good OS. I have occasional crashes or BSOD due mainly to tweaking or application incompatibility, but are easily recoverable via disk imaging. Windows 7 is so new and apparently prone to major issues, that imaging a workable state and restoring may be a routine occurrence which may take a lot of time and effort especially for an average user. I am thoroughly disappointed with the current offerings. Did MS rush to release Windows 7? Who was testing? Real world users or robots? What looked promising and functional, will only end up being a huge headache for any user. Advice: Stick with you current OS. XP or Vista are more stable and aren't that different from Windows 7. Don't rush to get the newest OS, rather wait until it matures a bit and the price comes down. Luckily I had an MSDN account and didn't pay for 7..

Explorer.exe Problem
I have experienced this with 2 Win7 x64 installs out of 4 that I have tried on differentiated hardware: On boot up, after logging in to the station, the start menu, taskbar and loaded gadgets are visable, however all documents and the desktop wallpaper are NOT visible or accessible. To rectify the problem on both stations that are experiencing it simply killing explorer.exe and restarting it via Task Manager causes the both the desktop background and the desktop icons to appear and become functional. This only happens after a reboot. It does not occur when simply logging in and out of the stations. Is this a known issue, if so is there a recommended fix?

Explorer.exe Freezes CONSTANTLY
I've been using 7137 for a long time, and I haven't had any problems with it until yesterday. I'll be doing normal stuff, like using Chrome, etc. When I try and click an icon on my taskbar, nothing happens. I get the blue spinning wheel. To add, I can't even use keyboard shortcuts to open up Run, Task Manager, and more.

Explorer.exe Eats Up Memory
I've been experiencing that explore.exe is eating up my memory, in fact all available memory and thus causing a severe system slowdown. I've tried to isolate the problem and I found an explanation related with autorun: whenever I have a popup asking me what to do with the files from hard drives with mixed contents, the system begins to scan inside the file structure and start eating up the RAM. Even if you tell the dialog box to do nothing, it will go on with the process, as if it still searches for items, but it doesn't end. If I kill the explorer.exe process in the task manager and run it again, the problem dissapears. But I've found that as soon as I change the Autorun options in the control panel and uncheck the main checkbox so it doesn't use autorun for any kind of media, it runs as expected. I'm using Windows Ultimate x64 RTM (build 7600) downloaded from my TechNet Plus subscription. I also have Mac HFS+ formatted volumes in my system that are read using Mediafour MacDrive. I'll try to uninstall it and check if the problem continues.

Explorer.exe Using 100% Of CPU
I am from Brazil and I've instaled Windows 7 professinal x64 build 7600 (pt-BR) and for some period the system was running ok. Recently the explorer.exe process is consuming 100% of CPU. The process start with 50% of CPU when Windows 7 started until reach 100%. I have one file on desktop (.MHTML) with 33,8 MB and when I try to delete or rename this file Windows Explorer freeze. When I open Desktop folder on Windows Explorer the CPU consuming goes to 100%. When explorer.exe release the CPU the size of process is very big. Over than 1 MB of RAM.

Explorer.exe Memory Usage Grows
I've been using the RTM for about 5 days now on my Lenovo T60 Laptop and about every 12 hours or so, Windows Explorer becomes unresponsive. When I Ctl-Shift-Esc, I see that explorer.exe is using over 200 meg of memory. I'm not able to open any explorer window from Libraries, the Desktop, Computer, etc. I'm also not able to open an explorer window from the task manager. I end up ending the explorer.exe process and restarting it from the task manager. Everything runs normally for another 10-12 hours. I do keep the following applications open usually - Chrome, IE, RDP, and Outlook 2007. All my applications have the latest service packs, updates, and patches. I'm not sure where I need to report this, or what other information I can provide about my system.

Explorer.exe Error "No Such Interface Supported"
i have encountered a problem with the Windows 7 RC. I have instaled it a while back and it seemed to work ok. Yesterday I installed IE 7 Standalone . The newly instaled IE7 did't work so i uninstaled it. I think that the previous operation messes something up in the registry because now when i try to duble click any folder i get : explorer.exe "No such interface supported". The same thing happens when i try to open Control Panel, or Add Remove Programs and other System utilities (the title zone reads something like : "::{26EE0668-....}

How To Make Explorer.exe Use 3GB Of RAM In 1 Step ?
How to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Windows Explorer, focused on your C: drive. 2. In the search-bar at the top-right, search for something but put quotes around it, for example: "someoptions.dll" 3. Press ENTER to confirm the search (even though it starts searching before this). 4. Notice how it finds "that exact file name" apparently in hundreds (actually about 87 on my system) of different files and folders, even though they clearly don't have that file/folder name? 5. Wait about 2 minutes, then check the RAM usage of explorer.exe, you will notice that it stays low for about 40 seconds, then grows linearly at a sharp rate, 1GB, then 2GB, then 3GB until the whole system is at its knees. Has anyone else seen this? http://users.on.net/~MRIS/explorer-ram-search.mht

Mapped Drives Missing Until Explorer.exe Is Restarted
Running Windows 7 Build 7100 and have an issues with network drives that are mapped with a login script. The majority of the times a user boots and the login scripts run one or more of the mapped drives don't appear in Explorer. The issue is resolved by ending the "Explorer.exe" process and restarting it. We have run "Net Use" before and after restarting "explorer.exe" and all of the mapped drives show up in both cases. Any suggestions? I'm sick of restarting explorer!Â

High Activity And CPU Load In Explorer.exe
Using Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - When I browse to a folder on another machine (a web server called websrv2) on our domain, explorer.exe uses up most of my CPU. The contents of the folder are .aspx and other files associated with an asp.net web app, so the problem doesn't seem to be associated with explorer trying to create thumbnails for media files. This CPU load causes my machine (Intel P4 single core) to be almost unusable. folder listing: explorer.exe cpu load: cpu load graph: A ProcessMon log shows that the explorer.exe process seems to be doing an insane number of QueryDirectory and QueryBasicInformationFile actions in various folders on websrv2, even though none of these folders are open in any explorer windows: It also seems to be doing CreateFile actions in c:\windows\cscv2.0.6amespacewebsrv2. Is explorer.exe creating some kind of cache of all of the files on websrv2? Why is it doing this? Why is it looking in folders on websrv2 that I have no interest in? This problem doesn't seem to go away after a prolonged time. Everytime I browse to this folder, the same high CPU load occurs. Does anyone know what explorer.exe is doing? And how I can prevent it from scanning folders that I'm not browsing?

Solution For Explorer.exe Crashing When Attempting To Login To A Network Domain
Just wanted to give anyone struggling with this issue a heads up. I recently upgraded a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium and was having non-stop problems logging into various network servers that utilized domains. Upon attempting connection, the Login dialog would appear and I would enter my domain and username, followed by password. On clicking OK, Explorer.exe would immediately stop responding, crash and restart. Having poked around, the Event viewer had made a note of the crash and specifically called out FACredProv2.dll in C:Windowssystem32FACredProv2.dll. A little searching later I determined that the problem was being caused by a pre-installed program called Fast Access (a sub-component of Dell's face recognition security software) which wasn't uninstalled when I removed the Web Cam software as prompted by the Windows Upgrade Advisor. Removing it and rebooting fixed the problem. It would be highly beneficial if this crash was added to the Crash database so it could tell users to uninstall Fast Access. An example log entry is: Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7600.16404, time stamp: 0x4a765771 Faulting module name: FACredProv2.dll, version: 2.2.13.1, time stamp: 0x48c1a108 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000047570 Faulting process id: 0x12e8 Faulting application start time: 0x01ca5d940c4e6b28 Faulting application path: C:WindowsExplorer.EXE Faulting module path: C:Windowssystem32FACredProv2.dll Report Id: 7d09ae55-c997-11de-809c-002219f0176b

Winlogon.exe Error
I have recently updated to windows 7 from vista... and I am getting this error related to winlogon.exe file... Issues 1. After LogIn, my screen stays black for 10sec. but after that everything loads perfectly fine... (In vista there was no wait) 2. When I shutdown, logoff, or restart my computer ... an error comes up saying "1 Program still needs to close" and it says its winlogon.exe, and it gives two options either force shutdown or cancel.... this causes the screen to flicker few times and it shuts down the computer normally after that (without clicking force shutdown)... but it seems that everytime I try to shutdown,restart or logoff I get this error.... again the error shows up for about 2 sec and then computer shutsdown normally after that....I was wondering what do I need to do to getrid of this error message.. These issues add 10sec more to normal shutdown and startup times... I did not experience these issues in Vista... If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do.. I would really appreciate it.
