Hi:
I have periodic explorer crashes on my Surface Pro 2017, Win Pro x64 (it is fully updated). The crash seems to occur periodically after a Hello Windows log-in (this occurs after the computer was sleeping rather than on a fresh boot). It seems to involve Windows.UI.XamlHost.dll based on the below.
When I look in the Event viewer I see errors like this:
Event ID 1000
Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.16299.125, time stamp: 0xfeba44fb
Faulting module name: Windows.UI.XamlHost.dll, version: 10.0.16299.15, time stamp: 0x00f27b8f

If I click on Start > type "view all" then click on "View all problem reports Control panel" the "Windows Explorer" "Stopped working" errors and then double click on one I would get something like this:

I am at a loss to understand what the problem is here. I am glad to disable Hello Windows if this would end the problem. Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Apparently updating the graphics driver is not enough.
Another crash: here is the dump file,

I should add here are common things:
Thanks: I have the updates set to be delayed but I just do not seem to be ever given the option of firmware or driver updates. Cannot see a setting that would change that :(
I did manually add the most recent Surface firmware update
SurfacePro_Win10_16299_1710007_0.msi
a few days ago via
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55484
You are welcome for the help.
If you are not sure you are getting the updates the following article has some links:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices
The presently installed Intel graphics driver may be the latest available from Microsoft.
As long as the Windows Update Service is functioning properly and you haven't changed settings to delay updates you should get them automatically.
At this time you can leave Dropbox as is or uninstall if you wish.
Thanks auggy I am getting the Intel Graphics driver now. I will report back with more info (hopefully not from a explorer crash but if I do I will include the CrashDump).
I have DropBox loaded but it is literally never on (not even in the background: it does not load at startup). I do see DropBox Service and DropBox update as Background processed on my machine. I am glad to uninstall DropBox since I can simply use the browser interface. If you think that would be helpful let me know.
And again thank you!
PS This is a bit off topic but I am not sure I am getting all updates. I am pretty sure I did not get a Surface firmware updates that came out a few weeks back and here the driver. Is there some setting which would be preventing me from getting all of these?
I have the dump file and the issue may be with the Intel graphics as two components of the Intel graphics driver are referenced in the crash (igd10iumd64.dll and igc64.dll):
*** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found. Defaulted to export symbols for sppc.dll -
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for DropboxExt64.19.0.dll
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for DropboxExt64.19.0.dll
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for igd10iumd64.dll
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for igd10iumd64.dll
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for igc64.dll
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for igc64.dll
GetUrlPageData2 (WinHttp) failed: 12002.
Probably caused by : Windows.UI.XamlHost.dll ( Windows_UI_XamlHost!wil::details::ReportFailure+e5 )
You could try updating the Intel graphics driver.
You may be able to use the latest version from Intel:
If not you may have to wait for an update to be pushed out from Windows Update.
The DropboxExt64.19.0.dll is also referenced in the crash but from the symptoms you described the issue is more likely the Intel graphics driver.
