Explorer.EXE Server execution failed

When running a few intensive programs on my computer, i am subjected to this error:

Explorer.EXE
Server execution failed.

After force stopping the programs and restarting my computer on multiple occasions, i still have the same error.

Can anybody find a fix?
Thank you

Hello

  1. open cmd as administrator and type net user administrator /active:yes and restart PC and then login with new administrator profile
  2. go to registry editor ( open run windows and type regedit) and go to this location Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, double click on Personal and in value data type %USERPROFILE%\Documents, close registry editor and restart PC

As you mentioned you are using some intensive programs, please consider upgrading your RAM sometimes windows explorer crashes due to insufficient memory as well.
