windows explorer crashing

I keep experiencing issues with Windows Explorer. I keep it open (for obvious reasons) while using Solidworks and several times a day it crashes. This happens whether or not I am actually navigating Windows Explorer. This began happening after I installed SW 2015. I thought the problem might be a faulty install, so I had my computer wiped and everything installed fresh, but the same thing started happening the next day. I read that it might be bc of all the shell extensions I had installed so I downloaded a program to remove them. Still had the same problem. Has anybody else experienced this problem and if so, what have you done to remedy it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
