Windows 10: File Explorer Crashes When Right Clicking

Long story short, whenever I try to rick click a file, File Explorer crashes. This doesn't happen with folders, and it doesn't happen on the desktop. File Explorer also crashes when I try to move a file by dragging it, and it also sometimes crashes when I go into a folder, only to allow me to open said folder next time I try. I have searched for an answer for a couple days now, but every fix I've found hasn't worked. Here's a list of the things I tried note that i may have forgotten about some things:
- Restarting my PC

- Restarting the File Explorer task via Task Manager

- Disabling all third party context menu handlers

- Using an alternate file explorer like 7-Zip File Manager

- Performing a 'soft boot'
- Running a virus check nothing came up

- ect.

Essentially, every fix I found googling the issue, I tried, and failed. Additionally, sometimes it works fine, only to crash moments later. The only way I've found to do what I want with it is to brute force it. Every once in a while, it'll work for a couple seconds. If anyone has any idea what might be happening, or better yet, have any potential fixes, please do tell me.


Thanks in advance.

File Explorer crashes after Right Click in Desktop


Download: ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows
NOTE: download version 1.97 or later, else Restart Explorer won't work in step 4

1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu. Also put check marks as shown
   
   
   
3. Click on the screen, Hold down CTRL Key+A to select all then click on the red button on top left corner to disable all.
4. Click on the Options again and select Restart Explorer
5. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one and repeat step 4 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.
