资源管理器崩溃或冻结
如果您的Windows 文件资源管理器(Windows File Explorer)经常崩溃或死机,您需要执行以下操作以帮助您解决问题:
- 禁用预览窗格
- 禁用缩略图
- 暂时禁用 UAC
- 禁用 DEP 并查看
- 在单独的进程中启动文件夹窗口
- 检查已安装的附加组件
- 运行系统文件检查器
- 更新视频驱动程序
- 在干净启动状态下进行故障排除
- Windows 内存诊断工具
- 其他建议..
让我们详细介绍一下这些建议。在开始之前,运行(Run) Check Disk。并查看您的系统还原是否使问题消失。还要确保您的Windows 是最新的(Windows is up-to-date),并且所有Windows更新都已安装。接下来,扫描您的计算机以查找恶意软件(malware)。如果您购买了新的Windows 10/8/7笔记本电脑,可能某些预装的 craplets 会干扰explorer.exe。然后删除不需要的试用软件并清理您的机器(unwanted trialware and de-crapify your machine)。
文件资源管理器(File Explorer)自动关闭
1)禁用预览窗格
禁用(Disable the Preview Pane)文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中的预览窗格,看看它是否有帮助。要禁用预览窗格(Preview Pane),请单击Organize > Layout > Preview Pane。
2) 禁用缩略图
禁用缩略图(Disable Thumbnails),看看这是否可以解决问题。为此,请打开Folder Options > View选项卡 > 选中始终显示图标(Icons),从不缩略图。此外,取消选中在缩略图上显示(Display)文件图标的选项。Click Apply/OK。
3)暂时禁用UAC
暂时禁用 UAC(Disable UAC temporarily)看看是否有帮助。
4)禁用DEP并查看
禁用DEP或NoExecute 保护(NoExecute Protection)。请注意,数据执行保护(Data Execution Prevention)( DEP ) 是一项安全功能,可帮助防止您的计算机因病毒和其他安全威胁而受损。有害程序可以通过尝试从为Windows(Windows)和其他授权程序保留的系统内存位置运行(也称为执行)代码来尝试攻击Windows 。这些类型的攻击可能会损害您的程序和文件。DEP可以通过监视您的程序来帮助保护您的计算机,以确保它们安全地使用系统内存。如果DEP注意到您计算机上的某个程序错误地使用内存,它会关闭该程序并通知您。
为此,请以管理员身份(Administrator)运行(Run)命令提示符。然后复制粘贴以下内容并按 Enter:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
众所周知,这有助于Windows 10/8/7/Vista。
5) 在单独的进程中启动文件夹窗口
在单独的进程(separate process)中启动文件夹窗口,看看它是否有帮助。为此,请打开Explorer。Click Organize > Folder和搜索(Search) 选项(Options)”>“查看”>“高级设置”>“在单独的进程中启动文件夹窗口’ > Apply > OK。
6) 检查已安装的附加组件
安装的附加组件(Installed Add-ons)通常是罪魁祸首!检查您是否在资源管理器中安装了任何帮助程序或附加组件。卸载或禁用它们。通常(Often),即使是 3rd-party shell 扩展也可能导致Explorer在特定操作时崩溃。几个程序将项目添加到右键单击上下文菜单中。要详细查看它们,您可以下载免费软件实用程序ShellExView。
它可以让您查看和禁用可疑的 3rd 方 shell 扩展。使用试错法,您可以禁用/启用扩展程序以尝试确定它们是否导致问题。ShellExView 也可用于解决Explorer中的上下文菜单问题,例如,如果右键单击很慢。
7) 运行系统文件检查器
Run sfc /scannow 如果系统文件检查器要求,运行 sfc /scannow并在最后重新启动。系统文件检查器(System File Checker)将在重新启动时替换损坏的系统文件(如果发现)。
8) 更新视频驱动程序
过时或损坏的视频驱动程序(video drivers)可能会导致Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)停止工作。更新您的图形驱动程序(Update your Graphics drivers),看看它是否有帮助。
9) 在干净启动状态下进行故障排除
以安全模式(Safe Mode)启动 Windows ,看看是否可以重现问题。如果问题消失了,那么很可能是某个启动程序干扰了Explorer的正常运行。执行干净启动(Clean Boot) 并尝试排除故障并识别有问题的程序。
10) Windows 内存诊断工具
运行Windows 内存诊断工具(Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool) 以检查可能的内存问题(memory problems),包括测试计算机上的随机存取内存(Random Access Memory)( RAM )。

File Explorer getting closed automatically
1) Disable the Preview Pane
Disable the Preview Pane in File Explorer and see if it helps. To disable the Preview Pane, click Organize > Layout > Preview Pane.
2) Disable Thumbnails
Disable Thumbnails and see if this stops the problem. To do so, open Folder Options > View tab > Check Always show Icons, never thumbnail. Also, remove the check for the option to Display file icon on thumbnails. Click Apply/OK.
3) Disable UAC temporarily
Disable UAC temporarily and see if it helps.
4) Disable DEP and see
Disable DEP or NoExecute Protection. Do note that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files. DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.
To do so, Run command prompt as Administrator. Then copy-paste the following and hit Enter:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
This has been known to help in Windows 10/8/7/Vista.
5) Launch the folder windows in a separate process
Launch the folder windows in a separate process and see if it helps. To do so, open Explorer. Click Organize > Folder & Search Options > View > Advanced Settings > Check ‘Launch folder windows in a separate process’ > Apply > OK.
6) Check installed Add-ons
Installed Add-ons are usually the culprit! Check if you have installed any helpers or add-ons to your explorer. Uninstall or disable them. Often, even 3rd-party shell extensions can cause Explorer to crash on particular actions. Several programs add items to the right-click context menu. To see them in detail, you may download the freeware utility ShellExView.
It will let you view & disable suspect 3rd party shell extensions. Using the trial & error method, you may disable/enable the extensions to try and identify if any of them are causing a problem. ShellExView can also be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer, like, say, if the right-click is slow.
7) Run System File Checker
Run sfc /scannow and at the end reboot if the system file checker asks for it. The System File Checker will on reboot, replace corrupt system files if any are found.
8) Update Video drivers
Outdated or corrupt video drivers can cause Windows Explorer to stop working. Update your Graphics drivers and see if it helps.
9) Troubleshoot in Clean Boot State
Start your Windows in Safe Mode, and see if you can recreate the problem. If the problem has disappeared, then it’s probably some startup program that is interfering with the smooth functioning of Explorer. Perform a Clean Boot and try to troubleshoot and identify the offending program.
10) Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool
Run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool to check for possible memory problems, including testing of the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer.
