Right Click Error on Windows Explorer
When I try to right click on anything , the entire windows explorer crashes and restarts every time. I tried to use ShellExView, and I disabled all the non-Microsoft applications and that also did not work. So I am assuming that one of the errors is within a context menu application, but I do not know which one. Is there a way to be able to know which error it is specifically without needing to disable all the Microsoft applications, just that single one that is causing that error? Thanks for any help, any help is appreciated.

Have you checked the Windows logs to see if any info about the issue is there?

You can also run sfc /scannow and DISM to check for errors. Instructions for both can be found on this wiki.

Also, can you open the Action Center on the taskbar > Maintenance > View reliability history > View all problem reports

Can you right-click on a few of the "Windows Explorer"  "Stopped working" errors > View technical details

What are the details of the errors?

There is a "Copy to Clipboard" link at the bottom.

Paste the information first into Notepad and then recopy the information from Notepad to post here.

Hi TheTaIIEE,

If the issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.

Best regards
