Windows Explorer Crashing When Opening a Folder From Quick Launch Toolbar
If anyone uses the Quick Launch toolbar with Windows 11, and Explorer crashes when opening folders from there, do the following:
Start explorer.exe > Options > View > check Launch folder windows in a separate process
Sorry to not have followed up on this. I've since re-installed Windows at least once, and have not had this issue since.
But, if I were trying to get to File Explorer Options, I would try: ctrl+alt+delete > Task Manager > Run new task > "control panel" > File Explorer Options and go from there.
I've succeeded reaching there, and now instead of crashing it doesn't do anything when I try to open the file-explorer. I also mentioned this here: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/2355
That's a tough one. At that point, I'd just boot into a live Linux distro, copy my files to another drive, make a backup, blow the partition(s) away with GParted and do a fresh Windows install.
Check what happens when using the console in explorer patcher. Open up the properties application for explorer patcher, go to advanced, and click on enable console.
to run the explorer patcher properties application, run this from the run menu: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI
@pyrates999 I don't understand the steps. Please explain in a list.
