Hi all,


I've been battling the dreaded explorer.exe appcrash and I am trying to fix the problem. It is occurring on my 2 HP Laptop Probook 450s and 2 EliteDesk 800 G1s. They are came with Windows 7 Pro preloaded. The appcrash is mainly ntdll.dll but I also get StackHash_xxxx as well.


I have tried to remove all of the unnecessary HP software that came with them and they are all up to date using Windows Update.


So far I have disabled all non Microsoft context menus (both 32 and 64bit) using ShellExView but unfortunately that did not work.

I installed WinDbg but I can't seem to determine where the error is coming from. Output as follows:

If more output is needed from the dump just let me know what command to run. Any ideas what is causing the errors?

Thanks in advance!
