File Explorer crashing (constantly), mostly in directories with images

I didn't have time to deal with anything today because I had to go to a government office (here in Montevideo), where one sits around all day waiting...

I've got a explorer.exe.2036.dmp file by now, but I have no idea how to
a) upload it here, as it is NOT a supported file format
b) or how to open and read it...
(I found somewhere a reference to WinDbg, but don't seem to have that installed on my notebook - right now I rather stay away from installing new things onto an instable system, otherwise I would continue my "real" work and install wampserver next, which I actually need to pre-customise a WordPress server install.)

Usually a dump file will upload if it's zipped.

Doh! Should have thought of that...
See attached ZIP of my dmp!

Hopefully somebody can analyse it...

Callender, if you're in the UK shouldn't you be in bed? Just asking...

Okay, I'm currently running a re-indexing on D:, the drive which causes the most problems. That's taking its time... Since I can't do much else right now I was looking for some errors log I could access, and I found some.

My event log shows 175 of these errors (all the same as far as I checked) in the last 7 days (2 of which I sat on a plane = didn't even use the computer!)

But when I follow up and try to understand the technical explanation on the Microsoft site I have to say "sorry, I'm lost..."

Next I will follow Callender's suggestion and remove some of ASUS' bloat ware. I must confess, that when I got this notebook I did only half of it because I didn't have time [usually I do that rather thoroughly with every new machine - before I set my cache file and start installing my own programs...]. Online storage is often no use to me, because when I'm on the road internet access is very limited to non-existant.
All these things made for desk jockeys with high-speed internet access don't work for travellers...


Thanks for your patience!

I happy to report that my File Explorer is still behaving - - - mostly (= yesterday it crashed once, but I believe that was a different issue). I have been using it extensively, open almost 8 hours/day, in use up to 4 hours/day. Now I realise how much I use it on occasions...

So my BIG THANK YOU to Callender!

I will mark this as "Solved" = always an optimist
