Windows Explorer really slow and crashing excessively
Hi,
I'm getting trouble with my Explorer on my computer. It is sometimes slow and lagging, also crashes sometimes during boot before I even move the mouse and other times when I'm using the task bar, desktop or windows explorer.
I have tried everything listed in the troubleshooting post here: Troubleshooting Explorer.exe Crashing Issues
None of these have worked. However the SFC scan doesn't work on windows or when I use the windows disk repair CMD. When attempting SFC in Windows, the verification process starts and doesn't go no further than 20% usually, then I get the message saying "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
On the repair disk CMD I get the same messgage straight away.
I have also run Memtest for about 5 hours, it completed 2 passes with 0 errors.
Diagnostic startup I also tried but didn't work either.
The system was all working fine until Tuesday morning when I first booted the system, I got the lagging, freezing and crashing.
System restore says there are no restore points available.
I have also had a message about Desktop Windows Manager crashing but not that often do I get this. Will read the message and post it next time I see it.
I would really appreciate help on this, otherwise I'm going to have to do a fresh install. I will upload the registry fix dump file on the troubleshooting page when it crashes again.
Thanks,
Jordan
