WVD Issue -Explorer Constantly Crashing and Restarting
Mark Aldridge Hi Mark, I'm seeing the same issue occur every now and then. It's caused by the Windows Search service. If you restart this service the issue stops (you don't need to restart the host and you can restart the service with everyone else logged on).
I've had to created a scheduled task to restart this service at logon. Far from ideal though. I assume it's yet another bug in Win10 2004...
On top of a major bug in FSLogix (which breaks OneDrive Files on-Demand) I'm getting pretty fed up with Microsoft right now.
Thanks for taking the time to post this and share workaround. I've reached out to the Search team and asked which logs would be required to root cause this issue. Let me circle back as soon as I hear more.
This turns out to be a known issue (internal tracking number is 21167387) and fixed in future builds of Windows. I will start our backport process as soon as possible to make sure we service current in-market versions of Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session.
Thanks,
Pieter
Hi Pieter,
Do you got any update regarding this issue? Just saw the same behaviour with the Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, Version 2004 + Microsoft 365 Apps image from the gallery.
This is not acceptable for any production environment at the moment!
With kind regards,

SDingemanse we'll need more information. As you can read in this thread there are multiple potential causes for this issue, not directly related to WVD but Windows in general. If I deploy this image I'm not seeing the issue so we'll need a CSS support care to get to the bottom of this.
Also seeing the same thing. Brand new 2004 farm created. 4 servers. All exhibiting the same issue. Search service causing the explorer.exe to crash. If I restart the service then the user logs in ok and works.
