Unable to open any folder, explorer.exe continuously crashes
Hi all,
So my computer is almost unuseable right now.
When I start my computer, afterputting in my password, it logs on slowly. Folders do not open and nothing open on the run prompt. Computer just freezes.
However other program open, included Google chrome, malwarebytes, etc. Ccleaner doeas have an error, it restarts but then works normally.
I was thinking windows could be corrupted. I wanted to do a repair install, but since explorer.exe doesnt function, the autoplay feature never loads either. I have a bootable USB drive with windows 7. I dont know how to get to the set up file without opening a folder.
I was reading that the repair can't be done on safemode.
I also wanted to rule out user profile corruption. I got a profile thing briefly on there but that went away. I did this. How to fix a corrupt user profile in Windows - How-To - PC Advisor With the intention of opening another account but i got error 0xc0000006.
I tried running sfc \scannow in safemode but that caused the explorer.exe restart and it never opens. When I restarted my computer, i did safe mode with command prompt. That got it to run but its been stuck at 19% for a long time now. It then failed, said could not perform the requested operation. I tried verify only and that has gotten past 19% I turned off the WiFi when it first started acting up and don't have the computer connected to wiresethernet at the moment. Don't know if this matters. The verifyonly gave me this reading. Windows resource protection found integrity violations. Details are included in the CBS.log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log For example C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
I don't want to do a clean install, i have a few files I did not back up recently. Any suggestions would be great.
