    Hello Ningpra, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if running a sfc /scannow command may be able to fix the explorer.exe file since it's a system file. You may need to restart the computer afterwards, and run the can a few times though.

    Hope this helps,

    If you want to see the content of the cbs.log, run this command


    findstr/c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log
