[SOLVED]explorer.exe+0xa8150 high cpu usage

[c0de_is_me_]

hi there, lately my windows explorer has been using about 20% of my cpu constantly, looking in process explorer it has nothing to do with audioses and rather with explorer itself

does someone know a way to fix that?

 

 

 

SOLVED IT: i had an exe with an corrupted icon on my desktop, moving it into a folder solved the problem

Does this problem persist if you boot windows into safe mode? if not then i suggest checking for malware if you haven't already.

 

Also it might be a good idea to run disk cleanup and clear out any temp files and other junk then restarting explorer.exe to see if that helps.

does persist in safemode and temp directories are clean

This might either be malware, a startup program or a corrupt file.

 

You could try a clean boot to rule out startup programs

I also suggest running system file checker to repair system files. Open command prompt and type

sfc /scannow then press enter.

 

Sorry i cant be of more help.

i'll try sfc and will run a bitdefender scan, clean boot sadly not an option since some programs are required in order to log in (for my nfc dongle atleast)

sfc and bitdefender said no problems
