Explorer.exe hangs with R6031 error
I have an extremely frustrating problem everytime I log into Windows.
Startup is successful however as soon as I log in explorer starts it loads a few items in the task bar and then an error message pops up:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
R6031
- Attempt to initialize the CRT more than once.
This indicates a bug in your application.
Then explorer hangs.
I can use Task Manager to start a new explorer.exe process however the same thing happens.
I've been troubleshooting this for a few days now and there are no errors in the windows event log. I only have one application set to start up on boot and that's AVG which starts successfully.
I've used Autoruns to check all stuff that's set to start up on boot and log on and there's nothing that appears to want to load apart from AVG.
I "think" I've checked all services that could offend and nothing seems unusual.
I'm really struggling with this especially as it also happens in safe mode.
Is there any way I can see what is loading to find the offending process?
