[SOLVED] Random Explorer Restarts ?

[ChrisAB]

I have a problem which first started with windows 10 and has now started on windows 11 on the same system.

I will be using the PC and all of a sudden my mouse pointer will stutter and explorer will just randomly restart itself. I don't think its hardware related i think its software related.

What's the best way of finding out what the cause of the crash is and what am i looking for?

Thanks.

if it doesn't open as powershell, choose the down arrow next to the + in top row off app and choose powershell
type SFC /scannow and press enter

once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
