File Explorer crashes when right click

Solution #1 – Perform A Clean Boot
Clean Boot could be a solution for many problems, and it may x ours as well.
Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal amount of drivers and software, in order
to determine if some software con ict with each other, or prevent them from
working. Before you perform a Clean Boot, you need to login to your computer as
an administrator
Here’s how you’ll perform a Clean Boot:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are
using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.

On the Services tab of the System Con guration dialog box, tap or click to select
the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.

microsoft-services.png)
On the Startup tab of the System Con guration dialog box, tap or click Open Task
Manager.
On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and
then click Disable.
(https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/disable-startup-
programs.png)
Close Task Manager.
On the Startup tab of the System Con guration dialog box, tap or click OK, and
then restart the computer.
Be aware that your computer may lose some functionality after you perform a
Clean Boot. But, right after you start your PC normally, the functionality will return,
so there’s no need to worry about that. Also, you should be very careful when you’re
performing a Clean Boot, because if you make certain errors, your computer could
become unusable.

Solution #2 – Use ShellExView to Manage Context Menu

Handlers
If a Clean Boot didn’t help, than your problem is de nitely caused by a bad context
menu handler. And below, you’ll nd the best and fastest way to handle your bad
context menu handlers.
You’ll need to install one third-party software in order to solve your problems with
band context menu handlers. I’m not a fan of installing third-party software in order
to solve certain system problems, but everyone around Microsoft’s forums
recommends this software, so I guess it really does the job.
ShellExView is a great tool to view and mange all installed shell extensions. If
available, the software displays the description, as well as version details, company
information, location, le name (https://windowsreport.com/ lename-extension-
too-long/) and more. You can also manually disable or enable any item, so you can
choose which extension you want to run, and which you don’t.
After you download and run ShellExView, it will perform a complete scan of the
registry in order to nd all available shell extensions. After the scan is done, you
need to spot the context menu handlers. Use “Type” to sort all the context menu
handlers together.
Now, all you need to do is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers one-by-
one, so disable one non-Micorosft context menu handler, and if the problem is still
present, re-enable it and disable another menu handler, and so on. To see which
context menu handler isn’t Microsoft’s, just look for the information under the
Company Name column in ShelExView.

Solution #3 – Run SFC

If the issue persists after following these two solutions, you can also run SFC. This
is a built-in tool that scans your system les and xes corrupted or missing ones.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Launch Command Prompt from the Start menu > type sfc /scannow
(https://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/sfc-
scannow.png)
2. Hit Enter for the scan to start
3. Wait for the scan to complete. Try to open File Explorer again to see if this
solved the problem.
