Windows 10: File Explorer crashes

I keep my computer on basically 24/7 and usually have a File Explorer window open with 2 or 3 folders I access frequently. After a day or 2 file explorer crashes I can usually reopen a folder I have on my desktop for a bit but when I click file explorer on the taskbar it crashes. I have two similar warnings from event viewer here.Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 10.0.22621.4974, time stamp: 0xf540a8b7 Faulting module name: msi.dll_unloaded, version: 5.0.22621.4890, time stamp: 0x2e6ee452 Exception code: 0xc0000005Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 10.0.22621.497
