    Once the process is completed, reboot the system. It will look for and replace the corrupted files of the windows operating system if found any.

    4. Run System File Checker

    If the above step fails to fix the issue, then chances are ExplorerFrame.dll is corrupted. To fix that try to replace the damaged file with a good one. For that, you can take the help of a run system file checker. Here is what you need to do:
