Explorer.exe crash, twinui.dll

For a couple of weeks, everytime i login into my account, explorer.exe keeps crashing and restarting.During this loop, the system is laggy and it only shows the taskbar, without the icons i put on it.

Here is the report from event viewer:

I also downloaded autoruns from sysinternals, there are some dll's, but only from winrar and poweriso, which i deactivated.I ran sfc /scannow and chkdsk /f, no changes.The system runs fine in safe mode, without any crashes.

I looked over that thread.Their problems seems to be solved by uninstalling the KB2756872 update.There isn't such an update on my windows updates history.

Hello Retegan Andrei (Andrew),

As this issue doesnt exist in the safe mode, it is caused by driver or third-party software.

Please try to perform a clean boot in Windows.

If this issue doesnt occur in clean boot, it is caused by third-party drivers.

If this issue occurs in clean boot too, it is cuased by drivers, please update drivers from the manufacturer website.

Best regards,
