Explorer.exe loop crash on windows 10 1803

Hello

I have the same behavior on 3 of my computers after 1803 : update explorer.exe crash in loop on windows start make my desktop blink. After few investigation disabling windows search service stop explorer crash. When I try the windows search repair tool  (aka.ms/diag_search10) says they some problem on some folder credentials.

Any clues on how to repair that ?

Thank

Open Start, type: file explorer options
Hit Enter
Under the General tab, click in the Open File Explorer to then choose "This PC".

Try WinKey + E now. If it opens fine, then the problem is with Quick access cache, which can be cleared by deleting *.automaticDestinations-ms from the following directory, using Command Prompt.

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Press Windows key + R
Type: %AppData%
Hit Enter

Then navigate to that folder.

Could be an issue with your display driver.

uninstall your display driver then restart
Boot to the Windows 10 desktop
Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Display adapters
Right click the current display adapter
Click Uninstall
Exit Device Manager
Restart

Try these first to see if they work:

Open Start, type: CMD
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Also run the System File Checker utility:
Open Start, type: CMD
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

If that does not work, try performing a repair upgrade:

Could you confirm if this also happens in the default Administrator account?

Open Start
Type: cmd
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type:
net user administrator/active:yes

Hit Enter

Close command prompt, restart, then try signing into the Administrator account.

Try launching File Explorer again.

Which Antivirus utility do you have installed?

Unfortunately neither of those fixes worked for me.  I found a reference on Reddit to a problem with this update and the IDT Audio driver...  Uninstalling "IDT Audio" from Settings -> Apps -> Apps and Features worked for me.
