I'm pretty sure the explorer.exe is like your navigator for your operating system. Like start menus and everything.

It says "explorer.exe - Application Error" and it really slows down my computer. 50 windows of it pop up and when I close them out, another window opens up saying "explorer.exe - no debugger found"

Possible reasons for Explorer.Exe - Application Errors:


1. Insufficient System Resources

If your computer configuration is low, it is recommended not to open too many applications at the same time, and your system virtual memory can be appropriately increased. Especially while playing a big game, a dialog box with the title Explorer.EXE – Application Error often shows up on starting up the application. In this case, the essential solution is to update your computer system.



2. Corrupted System File

You can run sfc/scannow to scan system files. If the Explorer.exe application itself is damaged, you can copy an explorer.exe file to your computer from another computer. Please first open your Task Manager, end the process explorer.exe, and then store the new explorer.exe file into the directory WINNT (Windows 2000) or WINDOWS (Windows XP) in system disk.



3. Incompatible Software

Installing some antivirus software, for example, may always cause the system to pop up the "Explorer.EXE - Application Error".



4. Virus

Most viruses exist by sneaking into the Explorer.exe file. While the system starts up, the viruses may also run in the background.



5. Slow Response

If the computer has waited for a long time to start up an application, such as reading data, especially data in a CD or a USB portable disk, the system will pop up the "Explorer.EXE - Application Error" as well.



6. System Kernel Error

Reinstall the operating system. It is recommended to reinstall your operating system with a better installation disk. Download all the Windows patches; install the latest version of Internet Explorer, and good anti-spyware software. If you install a Windows XP system, please use service pack 3. Meanwhile, there are a lot of system problems caused by Explorer.exe, so you need to have a security tool installed to protect your computer system.




If you have the means to do it i would just format the pc and start from scratch with a fresh install. It saves time and messing around for hours trying to fix the problem.

Then you have a corrupted file. Your should have backed up your movies, picture, music, etc. The only way i know of that solves that problem is to re-install your os. I don't know another way, someone might.
