Many Windows (7, 8 10, and 11) users have reported experiencing as an issue where they receive an error message stating “COM Surrogate has stopped working” while browsing folders containing video or media files. Some users have also reportedly received this error while trying to print. COM Surrogate is the executable host process (dllhost.exe) which runs in the background, while you are navigating through files and folders. Due to this process, you are able to view thumbnails and when this process crashes, the error pop-ups up on the screen. This may also be caused by corrupt codecs required to view the media. In this guide, we’ve listed some steps for you that will hopefully fix the issue.
