    When I hover or click on my clock on my taskbar a message pops up saying "Windows Exploxer has stopped working Windows is restarting " I used AVG and CCleaner and it didn't fix the problem. I ran a scan from the command prompt and this error came up.

    C:\Windows\system32>Sfc/scannow

    Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of th
    em.
    Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
    C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

    I located the file but when I open it a message says access denied

    Also in event viewer I found the Application Error

    Here are the general details:

    Hi,

    Windows Explorer crashes are mostly caused by an incompatible Shell Extension.

    We can also use shellexView to disable non-Microsoft related extensions of Windows Explorer:

    1. Download ShellExView  from the following link http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip 

    Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

    2.  Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.

    3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.

    4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.

    5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
