Sharepoint - SharePoint 2013 Open Library in Windows Explorer Error

I think the Desktop experience feature is not installed and Web client service might be not started so try to follow this

  • Open Server Manager –> Manage –> Add Roles and Features.
  • Select Features from the left step navigation –> User Interfaces and Infrastructure –> Desktop Experience.
  • Click Next then Install.
  • Restart Server. Go to Services by clicking Run –> Services.msc –>

  • Start WebClient Service. Go back to your document library it's should be working.
