Explorer Application Error on restart in Server 2012 R2

Have you installed the large 8.1 update? Does it fix it?

Well no. It is not available yet. Whatever it was I downloaded last week (titled Windows 8.1 Update) was not, in fact, Windows 8.1 Update 1.

ok, install it tomorrow and look if it works or not.

I'll test it on Win 8.1 Update 1.

EDIT: It is on MSDN. It looks like there is an update for Server 2012 R2 as well.

the update it the same for 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

[Tripredacus]

I haven't seen it in Windows 8.1 Update 1 yet. I haven't gotten around to integrating Server 2012 R2.

Update: This is NOT fixed after applying Update 1 to Server 2012 R2 Standard. I was able to get the Explorer Application error by opening PowerShell prompt from the taskbar and initiating a restart using the Ctrl+X menu as before.

Sounds like a Bug. Nothing you can do about it. Maybe microsft will fix it in a service pack later on. Windows is always like this until a couple serivce packs comes out with any new OS sadly. Thats why I quit upgrading until the next os has fully matured. Ill stick with 2008 for the time being.

Bump on this. Users have found this can occur in Windows 10 TP.
