Finder keep crashing on Mac Os High Sierra

I have install the latest OS High Sierra 10.13.2 and even previous version, my finder keeps crashing; it's really annoying because when I try to relaunch the finder by using cmnd + alt/option + esc then relaunch the finder, my desktop folder is all gone and I can't open anything.


My scenario:

My Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2012 connecting to a server in my workplace and I have to drag and drop files to the server where all of them are images that needs to be retouch. I used all of the Adobe CC products in my computer eg. Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, Premiere Pro, After Effects etc. I don't know when and how it happen but when I try to drag files to a server or upload to the server the wheel of death (rainbow wheel) start spinning and I can launch all other application except the finder. When I try to restart the computer, it's not even shut down completely where I need to press the power button for couple of second to force shut down my mac.


Solution that I have tried:

I contacted the apple support and chat with them they told me to reset smc & nvram in which case I have done it before I contacted them. They also told me to reinstall mac os without erasing the main HD and I have done it but the problems still occurs.


My question is: Is anyone have this kind of problem and is there any other way around it where I don't need to clean install the whole Mac OS; which going to be a hassle for me because all the adobe preferences, presets and all other things that I have installed.


Hope anyone or someone out there can give me a solution.

Thanks before hand.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
