Right-click context menu in desktop appearing slow win 8.1
Hi,
I have just upgraded from windows 8 to win 8.1 everything is fine except the context menu I don't know why it is so delaying. Every time I do right click on desktop to refresh it takes almost 15 seconds to appear.
Help me guys.
Many thanks.

Hi,
In my opinion, this problem caused by two reasons. One is 3<sup>rd</sup> shell extension reason, the other is system performance. You can follow the steps below to fix this problem.
First of all, click the link below to download ShellExView:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu
3. On the list, you'll see some of the entries with pink background, those are installed by the third party software
4. Hold down CTRL Key and select all of them then click on the red button on top left corner to disable.
5. Click on the Options again and select Restart Explorer
6. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fix your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one
and repeat step 5 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.
In addition, does this problem occurs after system startup? If so, I would like to suggest you to perform a Clean Boot to check whether this problem caused by 3rd program or service. Refer to the link below for more details.

'NVIDIA CPL Context Menu Extension' C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvshext.dll was the culprit for my system.
Thanks for the solution.

I was having the same problem. Thank you for being here for us this issue almost rendered my desktop useless and your solution worked. Please continue being awesome
I have one question. What do we do with the offending extension ? Do we just leave it disabled.. or is there a way to delete it ?

Hi,
It would better to disable them in case you want to enable them again.

Thanks for the concise and useful reply and recommendations.
Disabling (6!) TortoisHg extensions restored right-click responsiveness on my Win 8.1 Gateway DX4870
March 6th, 2014 2:45pm

April 11th, 2014 9:34pm
NVIDIA was my problem also
May 8th, 2014 4:48am
Big thanks! That helped my system to normal.
May 12th, 2014 8:57am
Turn them on one by one to find the culprit and disable it forever.
May 12th, 2014 8:59am
Hi Roger , I upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1 everything is ok except there is a 15 seconds la whenever i right click any file ( pdf, exe, audio etc ) . I followed your steps initially it worked the culprit was NVIDIA OpenShxt file. But after i restarted my
windows it came back and now even i disable those third party entries it is not working. I installed registry cleaner and cleaned my pc again i worked but within next second it came back. Please do help me for this problem
Thanks
May 25th, 2014 12:55am
The one that was plaguing me turned out to be
TheDeskTopContextMenu Class context menu (aka igfxDTCM Module) version 6.15.10.3621 from the
Intel Common User interface. Its a file extension for Directory/Background.
June 6th, 2014 7:15pm
Thanks a lot for the solution,
it was so irritating to wait 15-20 sec for the menu.
I had a problem in bluetooth option - BthSendToContextMenuExt Class ,Context Menu C:\Windows\system32\BSAppShlExt.dll

Hats off Rahul, my annoying problem was resolved by your suggestion. May I know how did u zero into this?
June 11th, 2014 11:15pm
I disabled nvidia only and it solved my problem.
I wonder if doing this will create other problems or effect performance ?
June 14th, 2014 6:03pm
Thank you very much! this has been very clear and useful! :)
June 18th, 2014 2:59am
Thank you. That solved my problem too.
June 18th, 2014 4:54am
Huge thanks for you dear friend, you just made my day.
As for others, the culprit in my case was also:
'NVIDIA CPL Context Menu Extension'
You couldn't have explained it better.
Thanks again for being here to give as a HUGE HAND on this.
June 27th, 2014 12:10am
Thank you so much mate. This was driving me nuts!
I just created a profile so I could thank you :-)
June 29th, 2014 12:58pm
Many thanks for providing the info, your solution regarding shell extension had worked for me and now I am able to right-click to the context menu smoothly.
regards,
A Digital Media Geek.
July 6th, 2014 10:52pm
I already solve this problem.
At start sorry for my bad english.
I just turn off Windows Defender and my problem is solved.
Right click appears in 0.001 sec.
Just disable Windows Defender and install other antivirus or wharever to defend your PC.
Hope this fix your problem.
Bye bye.
July 26th, 2014 1:42pm
Thanks A lot Man..
It helped.
Intel HD Graphics was the culprit in my case.
July 27th, 2014 4:03pm
OMG!!! Thank you so very much !!!! I was so
frustrated with this slow performance problem on my HP touch smart laptop after updating to windows 8.1 and finally your solution WORKED!!!! :D
Keep up the Good Work !
July 30th, 2014 2:07pm
Same for me. I don't know what it is about that file. It was making me crazy.
August 2nd, 2014 9:11pm
The one that was plaguing me turned out to be
TheDeskTopContextMenu Class context menu (aka igfxDTCM Module) version 6.15.10.3621 from the

The same for me on WIN7 with the same module from Intel, this appeared during june ans i was searching for a solution.
Great thanks
August 16th, 2014 5:30pm
This seems to be working really nice, but there is one problem: the Restart Explorer option only closes the explorer, and does not start it again. I can open a folder to test the context menu, but now I have to restart my computer to start working again.
Is this normal? Will this also happen next time? Is there a workaround?
EDIT: after restarting my computer, it worked. For me, the problem was in the BthSendToContextMenuExt Class, just as in two of the replies above.

Hi, Lewistrick
If your Explore restart failed, you can try to create a new task in Task Manager, then type
explorer.exe and press Enter.
After that, Explorer process should be recreated.
This is just a workaround method, to troubleshoot your problem, you can check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.
