Windows 11 Multiple Windows Explorer Processes Bug(??)
Hey Y'all, I have 2 instances of Windows Explorer opened in the task manager at random times. It happens when i restart my computer, use it for some time and after a while i notice the fans ramp ...
- I found a solution for my issue, so I am just writing it here hoping it can help someone.
After I redownloaded the latest version of Malwarebytes and did a scan, it found a Trojan.Agent file: C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft Malware Protection
(creative name xD)
So after I quarantined this file and did a restart, explorer.exe did not run at all (not even once). So I guessed the virus corrupted the original file.
So to fix the new issue I opened the command prompt as admin and executed the command "sfc /scannow" and it found a corrupt file and fixed it. Now everything is back to normal.
