Windows Explorer Crash

[Monkeylord]

Not sure where I can look on my system for any more info, and Google hasn't helped at all.

Every time I use MakeMKV, Windows Explorer (Win 11) crashes at least once. Usually more though. I don't see any problems until I try and make the taskbar appear or open a new file explorer window. At that point nothing hapens unless I repeatedly click on a blank part of the desktop or spam the windows key on my keyboard. After a few seconds windows explorer shuts down and restarts (screen flashes black then white then back to my wallpaper) and any open programs end up in a different order.

It's not a huge problem, but it is supremely annoying and only happens when I use MakeMKV so I'm convinced it's being caused by some compatibility issue or another. This never happened when I was running Win 7 or Win 10. Trying to run in various compatibility modes do not help, however.


Am I alone in this and does anyone have a potential solution? Happy to provide any info that I can.

I've had the same issue since forever - I usually just restart explorer.exe after using makemkv out of habit.

Test your memory. Failing memory can cause many strange problems. And in my experience web browsers are real sensitive to bad memory (probably because they are memory hogs)

Donno if it is memory related - I remember going for many, many passes of memtest since I've setup my rig (without fail) & only makemkv does this. Mild inconvenience at worst for me to restart explorer.exe
