That shows there is no system file corruption which is good. From my experience with Win 7 its always some poorly written software or driver that causes Explorer problems. I've had luck using third party software like Windows Repair (All In One) Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Free/Pro
thank you for the advice. My experience has been that third-party software such as this contains malware, spyware, adware, trojans, etc
something I notice inside Task Manager is that certain things turn themselves back on after I "End Process". Most notably Adobe stuff.
Malwarebytes says nothing is wrong
Probably there is another program conflicting with explorer.
Try a Clean boot.
Run msconfig:
On service, select hide MS services, than disable all others.
On Startup disable all and reboot.
Use a clean boot for some time to see if the problem is gone.
A clean boot runs Windows without third party services and startup programs.
For some time I mean for some days.
If it runs without freezing, then you enable half services and half startup programs. If the problem returns, you will know that is in that half, if it doesn't it's on the other half.
On the problematic half, you disable half etc till you find witch service / program is the bad guy.

Thank you for that very easy to understand explanation, it is greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, suppose I were a heroin addict. And I got sick.
You said, Stop using for several days, then start up again and see which batch made you sick.
I'm not kidding.
Several days without the internet?
No.
That would be like saying "several days without breathing"
Its the windows system repair tool
