Ever since I have installed windows 8.1 on one of my computers I have been having problems with multiple instances of windows explorer.exe running, some instances using around 35% of my cpu.
Computer gets so slow sometimes that I have to go into task manager and close down all the instances of explorer.exe especially the ones using up to 35% of my cpu.
I run clean computers, anti-virus, malware detection etc, never finds anything.
I have one theory, I have installed a registry edit so one can copy and move files by right clicking in explorer. could this edit be causing my problems?
any help would be appreciated.
