explorer.exe application error The instruction at 0x00007FFDD63ACA referenced memory at 0x0000000000000024, The memory could not be written. I've been troubleshooting this problem by disabling difference processes and rebooting, but now I'm wondering if rebooting twice in a row quickly might...

If you reboot your computer twice in a row very quickly, can this cause a "memory cannot be written" error?

I googled "explorer.exe application error" and read many threads, and the only one that helped was a group of people complaining about the latest windows update and suggesting closing GameInput Host Service before restarting or shutting down. I did a lot of trial and error closing various tasks...

Cerebrus, you are correct, I have identified the following app as the cause of the memory leak: GameInput Host Service Everytime I shut down or restart I have to disable this from the taskbar to prevent an explorer.exe application memory error message. Some suggested I change virtual memory...

I am trying to solve a memory error issue. This was sent to me by a Microsoft tech support person recently: "As a rule of thumb, paging file should be at least 1.5 times the size of your installed RAM, and a maximum of 3 times your RAM size." I assume my installed RAM is 32 GB, right? So 4 GB...

Okay, I still don't understand this. If I have 32 GB Ram, then wouldn't 1.5 x's be a large number, why are you dividing by 8? It says they recommend 1.5 to 3 times physical RAM, is my physical RAM not 32 GB?

I am considering changing the amount of virtual memory in our computer. I am a bit confused as to how this works though. It is recommended that you set between 1.5 to 3 times the amount of virtual memory vs physical memory. So we have 32 GB of total RAM, and I'm therefore confused why Windows...

UPDATE: For those still interested in this thread, I think I have isolated and located the main issue causing this error message: 1. After extensive hardware and malware diagnostics this week with a computer professional, we have ruled out these things as issues, everything checks out fine...

Every single Microsoft process is still running, and my virus anti-software is still running, it does in fact uncheck the other programs that were on the list such as Apple Bonjour Service, Steam Valve, Google, NVIDIA, etc.. So basically it is impossible to disable any of the Microsoft...

Obviously I am considering reinstalling Windows or taking the computer back to the manufacturer, but before I do, I would like to know: Why can I not perform a clean boot, why is it checking the programs that I uncheck? And does this indicate a malfunction in the startup process itself?

Okay, well then the clean boot malfunctioned apparently, because everything that was unchecked when I clicked DISABLE ALL and APPLY was checked again when I restarted. This is troubling... perhaps this is telling me that the restarting process itself is not working, which fits in with the...

I don't get the lines during gaming, I get them when I have multiple browser windows open and I go back and forth between different windows. One last thing, after clicking "disable all" in msconfig and then clicking APPLY, should it not have stayed that way in clean boot mode permanently until...

Thanks, I agree I need to get some professional help for this issue. Last thing I should mention is that I am getting black lines on my screen sometimes when I switch web browser windows. Do you think this indicates a GPU issue that could be related to this explorer.exe error message?

The computer was built for me by a professional, and I assume they tested it. Yes, the /sfc scannow and DISM.exe did indicate a fixed issue, but there were no issues at all before the system restore. I hadn't gotten the application explorer.exe error message for a few days, but now I got it...

Great message, I really appreciate your help. I personally have found the multiple threads to be helpful. I have a couple of thoughts: 1. I am interested in doing a clean boot, but I am unsure how to interpret the results. Once it boots, what have I learned? Should I be looking in the...
