Anniversary Update - Explorer Crashing When Accessing a Network Share

After installing the Anniversary Update on my Surface Pro, every time I try to access a network resource that needs credentials, before the login pop-up comes up, explorer will crash. Every time.

If I manually add the credentials through Control Panel, then I can connect without issue. It only occurs when I do not have credentials stored for the resource. I tried "resetting" my Surface, which involves reinstalling Windows, and I still get the issue.

This is such an odd thing - is anyone else seeing this?

For anyone else experiencing this issue - I discovered it was the "Egnyte Drive" program that I had installed. Uninstalling it resolved the issue.
