Explorer crashing on right click
Explorer.exe keeps crashing when I right click in a window or on the desktop. This seemed to start happening randomly and not after a Windows update or anything in particular.
I have tried the following:
-Disabled antivirus
-Disabled context menu’s using ShellExView
-Booting into safemode
-Updating Windows
-Reinstalling the graphics driver
-sfcscan
-DISM repair
-Clear file explorer history
-Disable credential Guard in regedit
The same problem continues to happen, even in safemode.
Eventviewer displays the following when explorer crashes due to a right click:

I’m stumped and don’t know what else I can do. Any suggestions?

Hi Pablo, thanks for reaching out.
I just fixed the issue without the need to run a repair.
I used the following command to disable the new context menu.
reg.exe add “HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32” /f /ve
