Hi Basj and Neil, Update following formal verification testing. Short version: the crash has not reoccurred, and I'm leaning toward the DeskScapes purge/reinstall as the corrective action — based specifically on the observations from testing the evening before the reinstall, which is what led us to conclude it was appropriate to proceed with formal Post Maintenance Testing (PMT) in the first place. Two other things also changed in the same window, so I want to lay out the full p

Hi Basj, Thank you for the guidance and for escalating this to the support team. Update: I've completed a full uninstall, purge, and clean reinstall of DeskScapes 2026 — it's activated and running normally now. I'll run through the reactivation sequence that was reliably triggering the explorer.exe crash later today. I need to step away for a bit first, but I'll report back with results once that's done. One more thing worth flagging while it's fresh: I b
