Windows 11 file explorer (explorer.exe) issue
Hi all.
seems that after the update every time I right click inside a folder and scroll down the explorer.exe restarts and close everything that's open.
I filtered the events with procmon.exe to the exact logs.
the error happens when the PID has changed to '7796'
happen to you too?

Hi Shaike101 ,
As per the above situation:
- It might be a malware infection in your computer. You can update Windows Defender or any other well-known protection tools and run a full system scan.
Run the System File Checker tool by following these steps:
Open an elevated command prompt and type the below command:
sfc /scannow- Initiate the Windows Update.

Thank you for your reply.
Checked both sfc and windows defender scan and the result was fine.
