Windows Explorer crashes in win 7, 8, 10
I have not seen this with other releases from Win 95 Beta and not sure why it happening in win 8.1, but not win 8.
If I right click the left panel, to add something to a folder on another drive or move it to another drive, explorer crash. If I do it in the right panel no issues. This was before I rebuilt the system.
I just did a 4th reinstall on a new 2T drive since day one 10 days ago and now I can't do any moving of files or folder in any panel without crashing. I can send from x folder/drive to a drive, but not to the folder I want.
Using my lap top with win 7, started to experience the first win 8.1 issue and it has a strip down of programs on it.
I have now upgraded the laptop to win 10, and now getting the 2nd win 8.1 totally crash.
Have ran various programs to check the issues even to repair the system with no luck.
The other thing I have noticed since using Win 8.1, have lost 4 drives from 2T to 4T that were less than a year old.
I have also have to do CHKDSK of drives monthly as the file structure has come corrupted considering some of the drives are backup that have seen not new data added to them. It looks like I have a few more drives that may need replacing and will do the full check on them once the replacement drives arrive on Monday that had to be replace. What is also odd, I found CHKDSK found folders on drives only if I am using FTP on them, as they don't show up as non hidden files. I have see found CK folders on other other drives, but not the 4T that had 1,500 found CK only in FTP.
I have talked to MS help desk and was told they had to refer this issue to the engineers a week ago and haven't heard a thing since then.
Anyone else experiencing explore crashing? Is there an answerer to my issues??
Drives are 7200 Seagate and Western.
Thanks
