Have you ever encountered an Windows serious error message that said
something along the lines of “Windows has recovered from a serious
error”? If you have, you probably remember how frustrated you got
when EVERY window you have open seems to close by themselves, once you
clicked OK when prompted by the error message.
For some applications they may restart and restore
whatever workspace you had open, but for Windows Explorer you may have
noticed that they’ve disappeared, and that you’re left with little
choice but to open every single one of them on your own.
Worst-case scenario? You encounter the same error message repeated every time you start your computer.
