Windows 10: Explorer.exe crash when right click->New

Here's an example of a New entry for doc (docx will be similar).

You could try deleting that from the registry if you've not already done so.

Right click enhancer also offers a New menu editor which can add and delete entries.

 

This ShellNew entry is not here (maybe deleted by new menu editor, when I tried it). I tried adding it again with no difference.

But the key which trigger the bug is not this one, it's : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\ShellNew \Classes

 

Mine looks like this: (can't show it all)

 

mine is the same, except docx is capital. As I said earlier, I can change it to minus docx, it works one time but gets overwritten by system.

 

Explorer.exe crash on context menu - Microsoft Community

- I'm wondering if you posted this- seems identical

 

You could try capturing events with Sysinternals Procmon (free from MS). Since you are looking for a =n event related to a specific registry key related to a specific action, you have a fair chance of seeing what's changing that key.

By default it captures EVERYTHING but you can
a. filter the list
b. search the capture

 

Can you try removing one item of this list, open the rignt click, new menu, and check if the item is still removed ?

 

I don't wish to modify mine, sorry
