Hi,
I have a Windows 10 system which when left running for about 3 or so days will start to show odd behaviour in Windows Explorer. What happens is, Windows Explorer will randomly restart itself. Then, it will fail to load thumbnails and it will start to freeze/lock-up whenever I click on something. Has anyone had this issue before?
I've tried killing Windows Explorer from the Task Manager and killing off other programs that are open but nothing seems to restore its functionality other than a full system restart. It's a very annoying bug because it means I need to close all my work down and re-launch everything and it's especially annoying when I have several Windows Explorer folders open and they all just die.
I'm running the latest Windows updates and this issue has been happening for a while but it's got to the point where it's starting to eat into my work time and cause me a great deal of frustration. Yes, I've tried re-building the thumbnail cache which every site recommends when doing some research on the issue, but that doesn't fix it.
It's almost like a process of some sort of hooked into the Explorer task, but I don't know which program to kill that's running.
Thanks.
