Hi.
After booting up my computer today I started having this issue with Explorer crashing randomly all the time. It tabs me out of games and un-focuses any work I'm doing any time it happens. My desktop also flashes once and the task bar resets (I'm guessing that's just Explorer restarting). I haven't done anything out of the ordinary lately, so I've got no idea what this could be. Bad Windows update maybe?

Here is a screenshot of my reliability history (look at the scroll bar...). https://i.imgur.com/3xHOmRm.png

Techical details of those hundreds of "critical events" are all the same, and look like this:

I'm on Windows 10 64-bit. This happens no matter what I'm currently doing, including as I'm writing this. I've tried to restart the computer, restart Windows Explorer manually, as well as run some PowerShell commands/health scans a friend of mine recommended.
