Windows 10 explorer refreshes taskbar dissapears and appears ?

[DarkLight001]

Hello,
Since I upgraded to windows 10 and a new cheap ram 4 gb I have had this problem where the explorer.exe process refreshes.

It is the same thing that happens with android smartphones when you have open to many programs and when you try to go to home everything disappears and appears again because it is refreshing the home process.

Or used to happen with window 7 or 8 where everything disappears and you had to open explorer from task manger to continue to use the computer again if you remember.

Now this happens when i am using chrome because that is all I do on the computer and chrome is known for eating ram and the ram is constantly over 60% .

This happens too frequently it is not one of those things that happened once in a while like it would with windows xp 7 or 8.

These are my theories but I still don't know what cause this.

Do i need to add more ram or is this a bug from windows 10 ?

Hello

This might have occurred due to some system conflicts. Try the methods.

Method 1:
Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)
System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. It will scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files in Windows.
- Right click on the start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)"
- type in " sfc /scannow " and press Enter.

The sfc /scannow command will scan all protected system files, and replace corrupted files with a cached copy that is located in a compressed folder at %WinDir%\System32\dllcache.
The %WinDir% placeholder represents the Windows operating system folder. For example, C:\Windows.

Note Do not close this Command Prompt window until the verification is 100% complete. The scan results will be shown after this process is finished.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to try to create a new user temporary account and check if that helps.

The first method didn't find any error .

The second method seems to work.
When I created a second account things seemed to work fine.
So do I need to delete my first account and transfer everything to the second one or is there a fix for this account?

I wanted to thank you for your ideas.

This means your current profile had some problems in it, you can try to transfer everything to your other created account.
You can try to fix your current profile but do this at your own risk only.

>> Login as an Administrator on your Windows 10 system.
>> Press the Windows + R keys to open the Registry Editor (regedit)
>> Click OK
>> Navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

>> At the ProfileList folders, you’ll see folder names that start with S-1
>> Go to the folder that has a .bak extension
>> Check the ProfileImagePath value from the right side at the Data column.

>> It should be something like this:

C:\Users\MY_USERNAME
Where MY_USERNAME is the username of your account.

>> Go to C:\Users and check that the folder name of the corrupted username is the same as the one in the ProfileImagePath: MY_USERNAME.
>> If it’s not and the folder name is MYUSERNAME2 rather than the value shown in ProfileImagePath, rename it to MY_USERNAME.

>> At the ProfileList folders, check if the folder name with the .bak extension has another folder above it with the same name, but without the .bak extension.
Example:

S-1-5-23232
S-1-5-23232.bak
If you have 2 folders with the same name (1 without .bak, 1 with .bak), follow these instructions:

>> Go to the folder without .bak, right-click and click Rename
>> Add .backup at the end of its name: S-1-5-23232.backup
>> Go to the folder with .bak, right-click and click Rename
>> Remove the .bak and press Enter
>> Go to the folder with .backup, right-click and click Rename
>> Rename .backup to .bak

The purpose of these instructions is to move the .bak extension to the folder without .bak and vice versa. You won’t be able to do that without a .backup extension so you don’t overwrite the folders.

>> If you only have 1 folder name with .bak extension, follow these instructions:

>> Right-click on the folder name, S-1-5-23232.bak, click Rename
>> Remove .bak to only leave its name: S-1-5-23232
>> Press Enter
>> Go to folder without .bak, find a RefCount item.
If you don’t have a RefCount item, create it by following these steps:

>> Right-click on an empty zone on the right
>> Click New
>> Click DWORD (32 bit) Value
>> Type RefCount
>> Press Enter

The RefCount value should be 0. To edit it, double click on RefCount and edit the Value data field to be 0

>> Click OK
>> On the same folder without .bak, find a State item
>> The State value should be 0. If it’s not, edit it:
>> Double-click on State
>> Enter 0 at the Value data field
>> Click OK

If you don’t have a State item, create it:

Right-click on an empty zone in the right pane

>> Click Next
>> Click DWORD (32 bit) Value
>> Type State
>> Press Enter
>> Close the Registry Editor
>> Restart the computer
>> Login with the corrupt account

Hope this helps or you may transfer all your files to the newly created account.

Pearlmaster thank you very much for your help.

Later I will try the method you said since you took the time to write it.

If that doesn't work I will just transfer.

Thanks again for your time and help.
