Suddenly my file explorer has been giving me problem. Whenever I click on it, It does not open at once. But takes around 2 minutes to open . And even after opening, it just keeps saying 'Working on it'. I just could not open any directory. And the desktop just kept crashing. Finally I managed to open 'Event Viewer' from Run and found the event which causes this. It is this :
The Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I then opened services.msc and disabled the Service. Now everything seems to be working fine. Now I want to get rid of this problem forever. How can I do this ?
These are some other services which also showed up in the Event Viewer in crash state :
DCOM got error "1053" attempting to start the service UsoSvc with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server:
{B91D5831-B1BD-4608-8198-D72E155020F7}
And this:
The Update Orchestrator Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I had a similar issue after upgrading, It had to do with context menu add-on that I had. I used ccleaner to disable the add-on to verify that was the problem and eventually remove it. There is also autoruns from sysinternals that could help you achieve the same result.
