Running a program in Windows 10 (executable via Visual Studio 2015) where the OS hangs. Finally the OS restarts explorer after a minute or two.

The event monitor kicks out and error as follows:
The program explorer.exe version 10.0.14393.447 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

I found the report, see attached.

Any suggestions as to how to address the issue? Thanks!

Can you open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter chkdsk /f

You’ll be prompted to type and enter y then enter shutdown /r /t 00 where the computer will reboot and the chkdsk will execute on the restart.

When it has completed and the machine is back up, right click on the Start button and select Event Viewer.

Ensure Event Viewer (Local) is highlighted in the upper left pane and when it has read the logs, expand Windows Logs – click on Applications and look for wininit or you can click on Action/Find then type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.

Cancel the Find box and read the log in the scrollable window.

As well as what else it reports, look to see if it reports any KBs for bad sectors.

It appears to be intermittent, has always been difficult to solve in such situations.

Intermittent problems are always the worse to nail down.

Which particular program are you running when the crash happens ?

AppCrashView may give some more details.
