Hello @ifwindows and welcome to ElevenForum.

Open a command prompt as Admin, and run these commands, one at a time.

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Thank you to everyone who made suggestions. It looks like my explorer is now working fine using the methods from @Berton, @FreeBooter, and @dacrone.

Do you have any mod installed such as StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher, or WindHawk? If so, update to the latest version of that mod.
