QGIS crashes opening file browser window

Original Redmine Issue: 22067
Affected QGIS version: 3.6.2
Redmine category:project_loading/saving

QGIS crashes after opening file browser window. Likely the same as #28177, which was closed for some reason. On the same computer, 2.18 works correctly and 3.2 and 3.6 both crash, so the regression is clearly in QGIS

• description was changed from QGIS crashes after opening file browser window. Likely the same as https://issues.qgis.org/issues/20356, which was closed for some reason. On the same computer, 2.18 works correctly and 3.2 and 3.6 both crash, so the regression is clearly in QGIS to QGIS crashes after opening file browser window. Likely the same as QGIS 3.4 crashes right after opening a windows explorer file picker window #28177, which was closed for some reason. On the same computer, 2.18 works correctly and 3.2 and 3.6 both crash, so the regression is clearly in QGIS

Tried with a new profile, still crashed. Also updated to 3.8, still the same issue

Tried with new Windows user, still crashed (although no stack report), so culprit isn't mapped drives as I had thought might be

Still true with 3.10/master?

There are many other tickets with this issue

Solution given here: #28177 (comment)

[CoreyBurger]

So I ended up using the ShellExView solution listed in #28177 but I assume it would still be happening

I also have a home made version with a possible fix but I'm not sure if its available anymore.
