    Right clicking specific file crashes windows explorer


    I was messing around with an mp4 in audacity and after exporting it, trying to play the file, right click on the file, or even hovering over it crashes windows explorer. It doesn't happen with any other file or folder, and right clicking in the blank space also works fine. Everything I've seen online is about right clicking anywhere, so I don't think those'd help me.

    :)

    Hello

    Please see my You Tube Demo video - when I right click on a file within File Explorer on Windows 10 it crashes; here is a video demo of the crash - as you can see the Bar down the bottom is disappearing

    Please can anyone suggest a fix.
