| 1. End of Microsoft support means nothing. Security patches ending won't cause your PC to get hacked unless you run unknown apps from untrusted sources. It's just a tactic that Microsoft uses to scare everyone. In fact I am willing to take that 1 in a billion chance that my PC will get hacked becau... |

| I suspect this may also be some poorly coded built-in Windows 10 process which is blocking the existing threads and launching new ones, which is why I suggested moving back to Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell. Windows 10 in my opinion is the most poorly coded release in the 30 year history of Windows... |

| Getting the exact same issue here. Our set up is in a Secondary School and our explorer keeps freezing at 800 threads. Did you solve the issue or are you just not using Classic Start Menu for now? http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7297&p=31435 I responded in the other t... |

| Hello OP, I suspect your freezing issue is very similar to this one: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5954 I have not been able to find a solution and have been forced to stop Classic Menu from automatically starting at login. This leaves users with the standard Win10 menu ... |

| I'm working around this issue currently by unticking the 'start automatically for this user' and pushing that out, along with other user settings via the default user profile. At least the users still get the explorer functionality and I hold some hope that a future Windows patch or Classic Shell up... |

| More data points: 1) Uninstall Classic Shell, delete test user profile, login as test user - no issues. Threads on explorer.exe never exceed 80 or so. 2) Install Classic Shell again, but deselect Classic Explorer, delete test user profile, log in as test user - same problem of 800 threads freeze. 3)... |

| Heres a bit more anecdotal observation: 1) Classic Shell installed - Log in as new user. Profile for the user is created - Once the desktop appears, quickly open taskmgr, then resource monitor. - Explorer.exe shows at this time about 85 threads or so. I'm not touching anything at this point, just wa... |

| Nope - cant get more than 1 dump up on here - site keeps timing out. Let me know if you need more than 1 and I'll find another way. Edit: Another observation; the large number of explorer.exe threads never reduces once bumped up. Right now, on this test system, its sitting on 631 threads and the PC ... |

| Yes, I've captured the dumps, I just can't seem to upload them here. I'll see if I can make the files smaller |

| Hi Folks, I've been trying to nut out a problem I'm seeing on -all- my clients since I moved a bunch of them to Win10 earlier this year. Its the common enough 'explorer' freeze. This manifests in any number of ways, as most would be aware, but the above post has come closest, I think, to hitting on ... |
