Windows 10: File Explorer keeps crashing in Windows 11

Split from this thread. My file explorer is useless. It keeps crashing all the time in some folders like download, and the right click also crashes it.I try several fixes and nothing worked.I'm using the Files App from Microsoft store as for now. But explorer has some contextual information in it that I would like to use.
