Surface Pro 2017, Win 10 Pro x64: Explorer crash (Windows.UI.XamlHost.dll)

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

Exception code: 0xc0000409

Fault offset: 0x0000000000001db1

Faulting process id: 0x1880

Faulting application start time: 0x01d38282e4131af4

Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\Windows.UI.XamlHost.dll

Report Id: 6e835576-b35e-4d24-b6ce-331b05fa2c55

Faulting package full name:

Faulting package-relative application ID:

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!

    Seems like you've done everything but still keeps crashing. Make sure you have backed up all your files to avoid losing your important files. Try resetting your windows. here is the link from their website https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options

    I also just had an explorer crash and no crash dump was created. I think this one might have been a more serious one: the machine was on battery and in hibernation, when I turned it on for some reason it shifted from landscape to tablet (portrait mode) despite the Microsoft keyboard never being unattached. I am getting some Event Id 17 (local blue tooth adapter has failed for an undetermined manner) errors in the Event Viewer, though I think I get these pretty regularly. I will be shutting it down and seeing what I get after.

    Nope. I put a screenshot below of the remaining DropBox folder: the Update folder is empty.

    I have not rebooted since uninstalling so maybe somehow Dropbox is lingering.

    Check the location and see if the DropboxExt64.19.0.dll is there:

    And wait! I am listing what I can see from the crash dump below and it notes DropBox but I uninstalled it!!! How is this possible. I am really starting to dislike Windows 10 (and perhaps the Surface).
