Research direction

Install version 2026.1 on a Windows 11 Insider build 22623 or later and reproduce the Explorer crash twice within 30 seconds. Start by examining the ExplorerHooks.dll fault details and the supplied exception code and offset. Done means Explorer no longer crashes repeatedly and TranslucentTB remains running.
