Windows 10 explorer.exe Unknown Hard Error, after installing Ubuntu

[patgerardojesus]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Linux and yesterday I installed it alongside Windows on my Acer laptop. I followed all the instructions (except the backup part as I didn't have DVDs or external drive.

I checked the Linux installation and it appears to be fine, but when logging on windows, i get a explorer.exe Unknown Hard Error.

Please help me i dont know how to fix it

The error is unrelated to your installation of Ubuntu Linux. See the link below at the microsoft site for suggestions on repairing it. If that doesn't help, you will have more luck at a windows or microsoft support site for the windows problem.

You seem to have missed the importance of backups.
Users do make errors, systems have software issues and hardware fails.
If you have any data at all that is important, you need backups.
