Will upgrading to Win 10 fix issues with explorer.exe crashing in W7?
Hey guys,
I have been having a serious issue with my laptop lately. I am using Windows 7, and every time I try to copy a file from one place to another, be it on the computer or from USB, explorer crashes and restarts. This means I cannot backup my files onto an external HDD, which is what I wanted to do in order to reformat.
I have tried sfc/scannow, disk defrag, scanned with MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and the problem still persists with a new user. Also bear in mind that I have had this laptop for around 7 years (I think) so maybe it is just something that was inevitably going to happen.
So my question is, if I finally give in to the Windows 10 upgrade notification, will this resolve the issue of explorer.exe constantly crashing or does it not work like that?
Thanks in advance.
