Quick Access view causing Explorer.exe to crash.

Quick Access view causing Explorer.exe to crash.

Recently I came across a very annoying problem when opening file explorer it would crash, instantly . Particularly when it was loading the Quick Access view ie: the default explorer.exe file location.

The simple fix for this, I discovered the issue is already on the Microsoft Forums, so you can:

Open FileExplorer-->Right Click "Quick Access" on the Navigation Panel-->"Options"-->"Clear"

Clear button as seen below

Hit the clear button

You'll loose any recent history, but the default location of opening explorer.exe won't cause it to crash anymore.
