Explorer process gets crashed on termination in Windows-10 & Testcomplete-10 combination

We have a scenario to terminate the explorer process and to restart it through batch file.This scenario is getting crashed frequently in Win10-TC10 combination where as it works fine with Win7-TC10, Win8-TC10  and Win10-TC11 combinations. We are curious to know what would be the reason for this frequent crash in Win10 explorer process.

    I just can tell, that I observe many many crashes of explorer.exe on all my Windows 10 pcs where TestComplete 11 is used.

     

    * The crashes occurr ~10 times a day (rough estimation)

    * Afterwards the search bar and Start-button (or how is the button bottom left called?) are not working any longer

    * Explorer.exe then has to be killed via taskmanager and restarted

  • Can you give us below information.

    1. TC version used

    2. Windows 10 Build version used.

    3. Does the user has Admin Access??

      I already opened a support case for this and support told me that since the November-update of Windows 10 (Threshold 2) this is a known problem regarding TestComplete and Windows 10.

       

      Until now they do not have any solution for this.
