Ive now got this problem..i find if i click( it doesn't matter whether its right or left button) on the bottom info bar it clears a lot quicker ..but i would still prefer a permanent fix
Any up date on fix or what might be causing it
Ive tried http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lo...enerating-memory-dump-hung-process.html...but if i leave task manager running and then try to click on it to create the dump file windows responds by restarting ok

You might want to consider what you can disconnect for a while. Try losing any external drives, just temporarily, one at a time, to find the culprit. Cell phones on USB cables, digi-cams... Anything that you would see FROM explorer can cause explorer to slow down, and even, stop responding.

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
Only a printer connected ...and ive tried with it disconnected

Finally solved this after in place upgrade to correct issues with windows 7 pro 64 bit.. event log showed faulting application path as windows c:\windows\explorer.exe and the faulting module as c:\windows\sytem32\ATKDispCPL.dll .. heres the easy fix.. copy (not delete!) the explorer.exe from the windows system 32 directory to windows SysWOW64.. download shex view and run it.. disable the ATKDisp.dll and boom.. back in business..
