All standard repair methods:

and many other methods also fail. The explorer.exe crashes appear from time to time.

So what clues did Event Viewer give?

@therube - The "Event Viewer" does not provide any key information about the error.

Check the Windows error reports files.
On an x64 its under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

Check the Windows error reports files.
On an x64 its under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

First of all: here is no information related to explorer.exe
Secondly: With these simple logs you will not find out what causes this problem in any way.
I know that many people publish this type of logs on various websites, but as you know, it is impossible to read anything about them. Because they do not contain any detailed information.

Real logs should contain, for example, 300-500 MB of data, so that you can debug in detail.

It looks like Microsoft knows more about it as you do because they send this information for analysis.
But I guess you never had any look into such a log which contain many infos about what happened.
If you say that such a log does not contain anything about explorer.exe but you have an WER entry for such a crash
you simply lie or can't read. And if there is no WER entry you had no crash.
The large files which you are talking about are dump files which contain whole memory dumps
and are mostly of interest for Kernal crashes.

If you know what an "Unhandled Exception" is, then you should know that NOT every exception will be caught!
And you will not always have a WER error.
Unfortunately, there is nothing here.

So what would I send you?

But if I had a log that I could show you, I can bet one million dollars that you would not see how to fix it.
I am sure that you would propose some standard diagnostic methods, which are not only time-consuming (although possible), and it does not always solve a specific problem.

The large files which you are talking about are dump files which contain whole memory dumps
and are mostly of interest for Kernal crashes.

You may know something there, but I see that you do not have enough knowledge about it. I can handle WinDbg and I have solved many problems myself without the help of other people, but unfortunately all problems can not be solved easily. In some cases, you need special knowledge on this subject.
I know that memory dumps are DMP.
But in the system there are no corresponding entries in the registry, which you have to add to create LocalDumps in the folder.

The internet is full of willing help, but is this help really good?

Example:

Everyone agrees, uninstall all Visual C++ programs. for WHAT???



Although everyone is wrong, and still the same, still the same mistake.
The error still occurs (WHEN UNNINSTALL ALL PROGRAM + CLEAN), and I had to solve this problem myself, because all the "magic" methods from the Internet were not correct.

It is the same with the current Explorer.exe problem

I'd suggest the following:

1. Download portable ProcDump v9.0 (Procdump.zip) from here:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... 96900.aspx
2. Create a new directory C:\crashdumps
3. Extract procdump.exe (from Procdump.zip) to C:\crashdumps
4. Press startbutton in Windows, type cmd, click on "Run as administrator", confirm UAC prompt: click on "Yes"
5. type cd c:\crashdumps ... then press <enter>
6. type procdump.exe -i -ma ... then press <enter> --> procdump: ON! *)
7. type exit ... then press <enter> (DOS window will be closed)
8. Wait until the crash occurs [if you want, see also: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ ... mainly folder "ReportArchive"].
9. Take the *.dmp file(s) and upload them to a place [e.g. OneDrive, etc.] where you can share these files (link them to someone else).
10. Now you just have to find someone who finds the error based on this file(s).
      I would make a request in the Microsoft TechNet Forum: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/
11. Follow these instructions carefully to avoid any problems for you!

*) 4. ... procdump.exe -u ... then press <enter> --> to turn procdump: OFF!
    Do not forget to switch off ProcDump after solving the problem!

Note:
Until the final clarification of my crash problem I have provided the author of Everything with *.dmp files.
In my case there were two files with about 62 megabytes.

Method 1
Please check whether you face the same issue while working in the safe mode.
Step 1 Safe Mode
1. Restart your computer.
2. When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed. When you see this information start to gently tap the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows 7 Advanced Boot Options screen.

6. Do whatever tasks you require, and when you are done, reboot to go back into normal mode.

Steps 2. Clean Boot 
If the issue existed in Safe Mode perform Clean Boot troubleshooting to find the root cause of  the issue:

Method 2.
I would also recommend you to run online Virus Scan to remove any infections, if present.
Follow the link below to run the free online scan:

but still every now and again (not often!) there are still crash of the explorer.
Yes, I have a hundred different drivers and uninstall, everything off. Or can not use anything completely?
How can I check it, if this error can happen at an unexpected moment, e.g. in a week, maybe in two weeks or maybe tomorrow?
You can turn something off, the computer will work well, and in a few days the explorer will crash again.
Someone even suggested to me. Change the driver to the graphics card.
I currently have the latest, so I installed other older ones. Not a few days passed and the explorer's crashagain. So that's how you can combine endlessly and the error was, is and will be.
you can update the drivers, you can use the default drivers, you can use older versions of the drivers, and this will not change anything, still the explorer's error.

Microsoft Support:

Application exits with abnormal code 0xc000041d due to early thread created by app (was: Application exits with abnormal code 0xc000041d)
Our tools are using dynamic binary translation and the bugs encountered likely do not mirror native bugs. The problem here is that a thread was created that ran outside of the tool's control and it's the mix of managed and unmanaged execution that resulted in the exception. The solution was to take over the extra thread to ensure everything is under the tool's control.
