I am getting encountered with an error right after I installed the Windows 10
update. DDE Server Window: explorer.exe – System Warning: Unknown Hard
Error. This error is turning the screen black and is not letting me do anything.
Reboot won’t help as the problem soon reoccurs. Can someone help me to get
rid of this unknown hard error?
