Иногда при запуске проводника или ярлыков других программ пользователь может столкнуться с окном ошибки с заголовком Explorer.exe и текстом «Ошибка при системном вызове» (также можно увидеть ошибку вместо загрузки рабочего стола ОС). Ошибка может проявиться в Windows 10, 8.1 и Windows 7, а её причины не всегда бывают ясны.
В этой инструкции подробно о возможных способах исправить проблему: «Ошибка при системном вызове» от Explorer.exe, а также о том, чем она может быть вызвана.
Простые методы исправления
Описываемая проблема может быть как просто временным сбоем Windows, так и результатом работы сторонних программ, а иногда — повреждения или подмены системных файлов ОС.
Если вы только что столкнулись с рассматриваемой проблемой, для начала рекомендую попробовать несколько простых способов исправить ошибку при системном вызове:
- Выполните перезагрузку компьютера. Причем, если у вас установлена Windows 10, 8.1 или 8, обязательно используйте именно пункт «Перезагрузка», а не завершение работы и повторное включение.
- С помощью клавиш Ctrl+Alt+Del откройте диспетчер задач, в меню выберите «Файл» — «Запустить новую задачу» — введите explorer.exe и нажмите Enter. Проверьте, появляется ли ошибка вновь.
- При наличии точек восстановления системы, попробуйте использовать их: зайдите в панель управления (в Windows 10 для запуска можно использовать поиск на панели задач) — Восстановление — Запуск восстановления системы. И используйте точку восстановления на дату, предшествующую появлению ошибки: вполне возможно, недавно установленные программы, а особенно твики и патчи послужили причиной появления проблемы. Подробнее: Точки восстановления Windows 10.
В том случае, если предложенные варианты не помогли, пробуем следующие методы.
Дополнительные способы исправить «Explorer.exe — Ошибка при системном вызове»
Самая частая причина ошибки — повреждение (или замена) важных системных файлов Windows и это можно исправить встроенными средствами системы.
- Запустите командную строку от имени администратора. С учетом того, что при указанной ошибке некоторые способы запуска могут не работать, рекомендую такой путь: Ctrl + Alt + Del — Диспетчер задач — Файл — Запустить новую задачу — cmd.exe (и не забудьте отметить пункт «Создать задачу с правами администратора»).
- В командной строке по очереди выполните следующие две команды:
- dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- sfc /scannow
По завершении выполнения команд (даже если некоторые из них сообщили о проблемах при восстановлении), закройте командную строку, перезагрузите компьютер и проверьте, сохранилась ли ошибка. Подробнее об указанных командах: Проверка целостности и восстановление системных файлов Windows 10 (подойдет и для предыдущих версий ОС).
Если и этот вариант не оказался полезным, попробуйте выполнить чистую загрузку Windows (если после чистой загрузки проблема не сохраняется, то причина, по-видимому, в какой-то недавно установленной программе), а также проверить жесткий диск на ошибки (особенно если ранее были подозрения, что он не в порядке).
You may see a pop-up on your Windows computer when shutting down your computer, playing a game, or just doing anything that implies that Explorer has crashed. Well! this can be resolved, and we will show what you can do if you see Explorer.exe Application error on your computer.
The Explorer.exe Application Error while shutting down or restarting your Windows computer can be of different instances. A typical error message will read thus:
The instruction at 0x#### referenced memory at 0x####. The memory could not be read/written.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
The # placeholder in the error message could be any combination of alpha-numeric values. Essentially, they are all similar errors that can be redressed with a somewhat similar solution.
If you encounter Explorer.exe Application error, follow the solutions mentioned below.
- Restart File Explorer
- Change the size of virtual memory.
- Disable Fast Startup.
- Run the SFC/DISM scan.
- Perform a ChkDsk operation.
- Update the Microsoft .NET Framework.
- Run Memory Diagnostic Tool.
- Check File Explorer for problematic addons
- Scan PC for Malware.
Now, let’s delve into the details for the recommended solutions.
1] Restart File Explorer
Restart File Explorer and see if that helps you. You will have to open the Task Manager, locate explorer.exe, right-click on it and select Restart.
1] Change the size of virtual memory
Changing the size of the virtual memory on your Windows 10 PC is a likely solution to the explorer.exe application error. The best practice is to keep the virtual memory 1.5 times larger than your RAM memory.
2] Disable Fast Startup
While in most cases Fast Startup is a feature capable of boosting the startup speed considerably – it also means that your PC will never truly shut down. Consequently, you might experience Wake-on-LAN issues, dual boot and virtualization complications, and random error codes during the startup procedure.
So, if you’re experiencing the explorer.exe application error, disabling Fast Startup feature on Windows 11/10 could resolve the problem.
3] Run the SFC/DISM scan
The SFC and DISM scan are both easily the most commonly used troubleshooting tool that’s baked into Windows. These tools can be used to repair damaged or corrupt system files and even to some extent restore the health of the installed Windows image.
For the purposes of convenience, you can create a SFC/DISM scan batch file and then run both tools in one. Here’s how:
Open Notepad – copy and paste the command below into the text editor.
@echo off date /t & time /t echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup echo ... date /t & time /t echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth echo ... date /t & time /t echo SFC /scannow SFC /scannow date /t & time /t pause
Save the file with a name and append the .bat file extension – eg; SFC_DISM_scan.bat.
Repeatedly run the batch file with admin privilege (right-click the saved file and select Run as Administrator from the context menu) until it reports no errors – at which point you can now restart your PC and see if the issue has been resolved.
4] Perform a ChkDsk operation
You may encounter the explorer.exe application error if your computer’s hard drive is corrupted or not defragmented well – in which case, you can initiate a ChkDsk operation. Once the procedure is completed, you can restart your PC and see if the issue is resolved.
5] Update Microsoft .NET Framework
Microsoft engineers have pointed out that using an application which was designed using an earlier version of Microsoft .NET Framework and applying heavy memory load to it, may trigger the exporer.exe application error messages.
In this case, downloading and installing the latest version of .NET Framework on your PC could resolve the issue.
6] Run Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
The Memory Diagnostic tool in Windows scans your system memory for potential problems and recommends solutions, allowing you to take further action.
Since this error is memory-related, you can try running the Memory Diagnostic Tool and see if that helps. Type mdsched in Start search and hit Enter to open it.
7] Check File Explorer for problematic addons
Installed Add-ons could create issues. Check if you have installed any helpers or add-ons to your Explorer. Uninstall or disable them. Often, even 3rd-party shell extensions can cause Explorer to crash on particular actions. Several programs add items to the right-click context menu.
To see them in detail, you may download the freeware utility ShellExView. It will let you view & disable suspect 3rd party shell extensions. Using the trial & error method, you may disable/enable the extensions to try and identify if any of them are causing a problem.
If you wish, you may boot in Clean Boot State and try to identify the offender manually.
8] Scan PC for Malware
Virus infection and other malicious applications can cause an explorer.exe application error. Viruses do have the ability to reduplicate and spread throughout your system. Running a full system anti-virus scan can help eliminate the virus/malware if any on your PC and possibly resolve this issue.
If nothing helps, you could perform System Restore and see if that helps you.
How to resolve an explorer.exe error in Windows 11?

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
2) When the process finishes:
- If the DISM tool gives you errors, you can always try this command line. This will take up to 2 hours.
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
- If you get Error: 0x800F081F, reboot your computer, then open Command Prompt as administrator again (step 1) and run this command line instead:
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
Your computer should be restored to a healthy and stable status. But if this doesn’t solve the explorer error, try Fix 3 below.
Fix 3 – Increase virtual memory
When your computer gets low on memory, virtual memory serves as additional RAM. If it’s automatically managed and not sufficient to handle applications, the explorer.exe error will occur. To tweak the settings, you can follow the steps below:
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time to invoke the Run command. Then type sysdm.cpl and press Enter.
- Select the Advanced tab and click Settings.
- Click the Advanced tab and click Change.
- Untick Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
- Select C drive and click the box next to Custom size.
- Type in initial size and maximum size depending on the amount of RAM your PC has. Then click OK.
Tips: Advisably, the virtual memory should be no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the RAM on your computer. You can follow this guide to check RAM on your computer.
Test if the issue is solved. If not, go to other fixes below.
Fix 4 – Run Windows Memory Diagnostic
If increasing the virtual memory doesn’t help, you can take advantage of the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check for more potential memory-related issues.
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time to open the Run box.
- Type mdsched.exe and press Enter.
- Click Restart now and check for problems (recommended). Make sure to save your work and close all the programs before restarting.
- The diagnostic process may take a few minutes, during which you’ll see a blue screen showing how it progresses.
- Once done, the computer will restart. When you log into the computer, the results should show up on your desktop. If you don’t see it, right-click the Start menu and click Event Viewer.
- Click Windows Logs > System > Find.
- Enter memory diagnostic in the field and click Find Next.
- Go back to the main window and check the matched events. If you see no errors, it means your RAM is working well and isn’t the cause of the explorer error. You can then move on to Fix 5
But if hardware problems were detected, you may try further troubleshooting steps:
- Try your RAM stick in a different slot in case the previously used RAM slot is defective.
- Reach out to the support of the hardware for help or consider replacing a new RAM if all the RAM slots are not working.
Fix 5 – Disable Taskbar auto-hide
There seems no obvious connection between the taskbar auto-hide feature and explorer.exe application error, but according to many user reports, disabling the auto-hide feature eliminated the explorer.exe bugs. It doesn’t hurt to give it a shot, and you can easily turn the feature on and off.
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and I at the same time to open the Windows Settings.
- Click Personalization.
- From the left pane, select Taskbar. Then turn off the buttons below Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode and Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode.
Restart your computer to check the explorer.exe application error. If the issue reoccurs, no worries. There are two more fixes you can try.
Fix 6 – Update your graphics driver
The explorer.exe application error may also indicate issues related to your graphics driver. Drivers are essential for the connection between your operating system and certain pieces of hardware. If it’s faulty or outdated, your device won’t work properly and applications may fail to launch.
To update the graphics driver, you could do it manually or automatically.
Option 1 – Manually: GPU manufacturers will regularly release new drivers. To get them, you need to go to their official websites (AMD or NVIDIA), find the drivers corresponding with your specific flavor of Windows version (for example, Windows 32 bit) and download the driver manually.
