I have 5 crashes today already and I've used my computer for 2 hours. I suspect this is due to the new preview featured added to explorer in some update recently. I do not have proof of that, but everything was fine until that was added. I've disabled it for now so explorer won't lock up, but the crash continues to happen silently in the background.

Checked these, while the issue is similar the crash is definitely different.
Sadly still happens way too often. No change from 21H2, which I ran until April to 24H2, which I ran now. (I delayed upgrading 'cause shadowcopies for local drives were inaccessible/broken until April update)

I am seeing explorer.exe crash on startup, preventing startup processes from running.
This happened after before after a Windows update, maybe six months ago, and was eventually resolved by another Windows update. Now it's back. Removing the latest .NET update (KB5044091) resolves the problem temporarily, but the update gets auto-installed again and the problem returns. I've temporarily paused updated in the hope that a fix will get released soon.
My system is running Windows 10. (My AMD Threadripper CPU doesn't support Windows 11.)
I grabbed a dump of the crash. Here are some screenshots. I can provide the full crash dump privately if necessary.
It may be a total red herring, but my UI theme is set to Light, but that's not the theme that seems to be getting passed to Initialize(ApplicationTheme theme).
