Nautilus stop working after recent software updates

My latop has Ubuntu 18.04.1

The Nautilus (Files browser) stop working after recent software updates ( I believe it contains some updates to Nautilus).

I tried remove and install the Nautilus, just won't fix the issue.

I tried to launch it from Terminal window by typing 'nautilus' , the error message is:

nautilus: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexempi.so.3: undefined symbol: _ZN16WAVE_MetaHandler9kRIFFiXMLE

Similar bug had caused in multiple cases, where the ones that managed to fix it was by reinstalling the streamed broken package which in your case is libexempi3. Try reinstalling with,

sudo apt purge libexempi3
sudo apt install eog libexempi3 nautilus nautilus-share
sudo apt install -f

If that doesn't work, look for any libexemp library that is a dependency of nautilus in your system apt depends nautilus | grep libexempi and try reinstalling that package.
