Hey recently I've had this problem, 20 seconds after i turn on my pc my windows 10 just turns black out of a sudden and the only thing open is my Spotify, it gives the error "CRLog Transport error 0xc0000142"

it looks like explorer.exe crashed for some reason

How to Restart Windows' Explorer.exe (Along With the Taskbar and Start Menu)

No need to restart your PC---the Task Manager makes restarting Explorer easy.

you can try to re-launch the program using the steps described in the link.
I prefer the three finger salute ctrl-alt-del, bring up task manager and launch it from the run box.
hopefully this will get you back working and can try to find out why explorer.exe is crashing.

this is an aggravating problem, I know.

Thank you so much, it works but I have to do it every time it happens and it happens every time I start my PC. If you have a fix for it completely it would be amazing but if not I can have a macro key on my keyboard to open the batch file every time.

it could be a conflict with anything starting up.
you can now start some meaninful troubleshooting. disabling startup programs, malware scans, run the system file checker, etc.
