C. Test the computer's memory. Given that File Explorer, a critical system component, is crashing, it's likely that there's an underlying hardware issue, especially with memory. Faulty RAM can cause various system instability issues, including application crashes. Testing the computer's memory will help to identify any memory errors or failures. If the memory is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced. Google Gemini

C. Test the computer's memory. If File Explorer continues to crash after running Windows Update, CHKDSK, SFC /scannow, and clearing File Explorer history, the technician should consider testing the computer's memory next. Memory issues can sometimes lead to application crashes, including File Explorer. Running memory diagnostics can help identify if there are any issues with the RAM modules, which could be contributing to the problem. If memory tests reveal no issues, further troubleshooting may be needed, but this step is a logical next step in diagnosing the problem.
