7-Zip Causing Explorer to Crash
I have been using 7-Zip for years without any problems, however yesterday it stopped working. When I try to extract (or even test) a file, it freezes then causes explorer to freeze. Some times I'm able to terminate 7-Zip from the task manager but afterwards explorer still crashes and I have to manually restart.
This only happens when I use 7-Zip on the C: drive. When I use it on an external drive there are no problems.
I ran an system scan (sfc /scannow) and it found no problems.
Any Ideas?
One more thing, I don't know if it's relevant but in the 7-Zip file manager it has two Computer icons. One is labeled computer and the other has this \\.
Thanks in advance for any help.
