Windows 10: Explorer crash on Windows 10 Home when right-clicking in left pane.

When Windows Explorer is open, if I right-click on anything in the left-pane, Explorer crashes and re-starts.

I've googled, and tried using NirSoft's ShellFix, disabled the most common issues googling resulted in:
#1 Remove Nvidia context-menu and for desktop right-click.
#2 Remove Spybot Search & Destroy context-menu.
#3 Remove Nvidia "nvshext.dll" (not found after using ShellFix)

None of these resulted in a fix at all. I've tried booting in safe mode, the same problem exists. I can right-click on file and folders in the right pane of Explorer, but right-clicking in the left pane, whether folder or drive. Explorer still crashes.

I found a Microsoft page regarding a similar issue, and to be on the safe side, I tried that. Still doing the same thing.

This is really driving me crazy, since I use portable backup drives to re-install my games onto the system but it's pretty hard to drag and drop when you can't have a second Explorer pane open.

Anyone have any ideas?

Windows 10 File Explore

If I put the Explorer icon on the task bar, click it to open explorer, then when I Right click on a file or folder that is in the Left pane, Explorer closes.....all the time. It does the same thing if I right click the Start icon, then click on File Explorer.

If I open Fire Explorer by clicking the Start menu, Under Windows System and click File Explore, then when I Right click a file or folder in the Left pane, Explorer DOES NOT CLOSE most of the time.

Any help? Either way, File Explorer should not close like that. This never happens if I click anything in the right pane.
