File Explorer freezes in certain files

It seems that a systematic approach is required. From your previous posts I take it that the following statements are correct:

• Windows Explorer freezes when you double click any type of file (.docx, .xlsx, .txt, .mp3, .jpg)
• The problem happens independently of the folder where these files reside.
• The problem does not happen while in Safe Mode.
• The problem persists after formatting the system partition and re-installing Windows 10 from a Windows 10 installation medium.

If all of the above statements are correct then one would conclude that the problem is caused by some application that you installed after re-installing Windows. To find out what it is you need to do this:

• Perform yet another installation of Windows.
• Create an image of the completed installation. Store it on an external USB disk.
• Check if the problem persists.
• If it does not, install one or two of your applications.
• Check if the problem is back. If it is, uninstall the new applications or restore the image you created in Step 2.
  
• If the problem is not back, install more applications and keep checking if the problem returns.
