Does it work in Safe Mode?
RE: Something with the start menu causes explorer to crash - smirk24 - 07-31-2017
Start menu works both in safe and main its just the start menu at random times causes explorer.exe to crash. I put the errors given at the bottom though
RE: Something with the start menu causes explorer to crash - Compton - 07-31-2017
did you try disabling startup items?
RE: Something with the start menu causes explorer to crash - smirk24 - 07-31-2017
Yeah. I was able to match my version with an xp disk and was able to run sfc /scannow which fixed the problem.
We can close the thread
