Windows Explorer is crashing because of videos and pictures!!

So I have a lot of videos in my documents, and every time I try to interact with the video in any way (right click, even just clicking it), windows explorer crashes. I can interact with anything else, just every type of video or picture file I try to touch
makes windows explorer crash!!

(it only works from desktop)

Also the thumbnail for the pictures and videos are blank





Notice how it's perfectly fine when I click on the vegas pro files, but then I clicked on the WMV file and it froze.

 

Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.





This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?
