'Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working' Video Files and Alt + Tab

Hey folks,

I've been struggling with the 'Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working' error for a month or two, maybe more now and it's beginning to really frustrate me.

It only occurs when I'm in a folder with video files, doesn't matter what kind (not corrupt files as it happens across the board) and also when I try to Alt + Tab through windows.

Anyone have any ideas? I've virus scanned with MalwareBytes and also scanned for Spyware. Updated Windows and still no luck.

Thanks in advance.

CTRL ALT DELETE then click task manager and click file new task then type
"explorer.exe" without "

im a new newbie as well welccome to the forums

Thanks for the reply, did as you said and all that happened was it opened up the libraries section of Windows. Will see if the problem persists.

Edit - Flicked through some folders then and it happened again, just gonna restart.

hmmm i cannot understand what your problem is?

I use the CCCP pack with Media Player Classic but I don't think that'd be the issue. Have had the files/codecs installed for a lot longer than the error.

Will give that a try, also for more information this is the full error:
