The Windows 10 machine with the share is running Symantec Endpoint Security, if it matters.

Hello @kuro68k-6670

I would like to suggest you to check below troubleshooting steps.

  1. Please check if you are able to access any other servers shared folders

  2. Please check if the shared folder contains any .exe , .zip or any other executable program.

  3. Please try to Disable temporary Symantec as it might creating the issue while access the shared folder and started scanning if it contains any malware or any suspicious files.

  4. Please try map the folder using cmd using net share command.

  5. Enable Show Hidden files and Show System files from Files->Folder menu options.

  6. Cleanup C:\Windows\Temp and user temp folder from %appdata%

Thank you, I got it fixed.

You suggesting "net share" but I needed "net use" to mount the drive. At first I found that the username was wrong and after I fixed that it worked. So it seems that Explorer was crashing when the username was wrong.
