Answer 1

think i found the solution. i don't know is it ok to do this, but it worked for me.

so, you have two explorer.exe in your windows one in C:\Windows\System32 and the other in C:\Windows.

when you want to open the first one it shows

This Application only runs under WinPE or WinRE.

error. but second one is ok and work properly.

so i just copy C:\Windows\explorer.exe to C:\Windows\System32 and replace it.

Note that it's better to keep the original file somewhere in case it cause a problem.

and now it works fine.

hope i helped.

As far as I'm told it's the Common Item Dialog, not explorer that opens up your browser. So the solution posted by ahmadreza moodi did not help me while solving this issue.

This error appears in most programs that you try to browse files not only Android Studio, but it will also happen even if you try to open a folder when using cmd.

What helped me is only a Windows Repair Install, but it only lasted a few days before the error was back. I currently have no idea how to solve it permanently.
