Windows explorer.exe was crashing & rebooting itself.
On Startup, explorer.exe would show the desktop for about 10 sec, then crash for about 10 sec, then cycle through the same for about 10 min until it just would not start up again.
Following the instructions for cleaning from another post:

My explorer.exe file is now running fine (after running the programs below), but I need to make sure my computer is completely clean.
I ran ATF-Cleaner, except for Firefox files.
I need to know if it's necessary to delete all those files?
I also ran CCleaner.
I ran MBA-M twice & removed several issues.
(I can provide the other logs if necessary.)
Here is the most recent log for MBA-M:
