When I open it to browse to a folder, file, it randomly closes either the folder or the entire "tree".
It happened before, I googled it and fixed it. I've tried numerous "fixes" today and none are working. Windoze 11.. Anyone experience this or know a fix that works? |

Nope, I ditched wincrap a few years ago.
Make sure your system is up to date. If feeling adventurous, download linux, flash to USB drive, and test drive linux. For wincrap users I recommend to use Zorin OS, build from Ubuntu which is a distro of Debian. https://zorin.com/os/download/17/core/ |

DO NOT allow anyone to track you. Ask me how to protect your data. Trash social media, it's mind poison. Lock down your network! PROTECT PRIVACY!

did you happen get hit by a windows update and it started to happen after. or did you just install anything and it started to happen?
if the computer is pending updates, it can act a fool until you reboot and they are installed |

This may sound stupid, but are you using a wireless mouse? I've had similar issues with a wireless mouse that desperately needed new batteries.

It happened to me before and after some google fu I fixed it.
I tried google again and nothing I tried worked. It did an update a few days ago and the problem started not long after. It was working fine this morning then started doing it again. This time I noticed it would do it when I browsed to my external hard drive.. For the heck of it I power cycled the hd and it fixed it...so far. lol I do use a wireless mouse and keyboard but have for years. I'm going to do a virus and malware scan on the external tomorrow just to see if it has a bug. |

is there a good alternate to file explorer out there?
I've tried everything suggested online including tips from microsuck themselves and nothing works.. apparently this is a known bug they have failed to fix. I use it every day to access 3D files..well when it doesn't crash every 5 seconds.. |

Not that I am aware of
I would just continue opening the files manually from within the program that is going to use them. That is a very odd issue have you run malware bytes adwcleaner? https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner |

Try opening an elevated Command Prompt and enter:
sfc /scannow |

To me it Looks like an external drive is failing or being stupid
is there an external drive you can unplug to see if this stops? |

Since it's no mentioned yet have a look in windows event viewer to see if you're having a consistant
error, might indicate a source. |
