    This has been so helpful. Thank You!
    I've installed an STL viewer for windows explorer, which I could not get it to work somehow but could not find where it was so I could remove or uninstall it. And been causing the explorer to crash every time I clicked on an STL file. Thanks to your very helpful instructions I have been able to locate the offending add on and resolved the issue without needing to reboot my pc. Much appreciate it Leo 🙏 *Subscribed!*

    For me it was an Adobe Drive/Elements Context Menu causing the issue, disabled them and now works flawlessly, tnx!

    My issue (explorer crashing) comes when I right click on an icon in the menu tree on the left hand bar, when i'm already in an explorer window (say accessing a drive), and telling another drive to "open in new window". Can you recommend a fix for that?

    Just built a new Pc and are having a problem when right clicking either a folder(s) or file(s) which sometimes crashes windows explorer and I end up with all windows closed and back to my Desktop.
    This happens erratically, I can open say a music folder and highlight all the songs then right click, bang back to desktop. Repeat and right click works fine???
    I would say right click works ok 6 to7 times out of 10.
    done fresh installs with Windows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Pro with exactly the same problem, Hoping a windows update might come up with a solution.

      What music program do you have installed? It might have added something to Windows File Explorer, as outlined in the video, that's causing problems.
