I have a Windows 10 computer that is experiencing some unusual problems accessing networked computers and devices.
If I go to "This PC" (My Computer) and expand the "Network" section in the left-hand navigation bar, I can see all of the computers on our network. However, if I double click on the icon for one of those networked computers, explorer.exe will crash, I temporarily lose the start bar and then moments later explorer.exe restarts.
I captured a dump of the crash and this is the stack:

It would appear that Windows_UI_Xaml
is causing the crash somehow, but unfortunately that DLL seems to be a pretty central part of Windows 10. Googling for issues with the DLL and crashes related to networked computers has turned up nothing.
For what it's worth, this computer also cannot find any of the shared networked printers on my network and I've been unable to get it to join the "Homegroup" to share devices. I do not have these problems for other computers on the network.
Any ideas on the root cause of the crashing? Any suggestions for additional troubleshooting steps?
