So this is an issue I've been having lately. Everything works fine until I right click on a folder or try to open a folder.


The screen goes black and I guess the explorer.exe program restarts.
It's really annoying me and I can't find out why it's happening.
It doesn't happen all the time, it's random and sporadic but constant enough to be irritating.

Here is a video of the problem (sorry for the phone recording)

see if this helps

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter

SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
