Windows 10: Holding Shift and right clicking in windows 11 explorer menu left pane causes the window to...

This bug was introduced the last major update in September, it is super annoying, but if you hold shift and right click to bypass the show more options menu the window becomes non-responsive. The only thing you can do is close the window and open another explorer window. This was introduced the last major upgrade, I was hoping Microsoft would fix this because it is really annoying.

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

Windows 11 File explorer crashes with right-click in file pane.

After upgrade to Windows 11 the File Explorer crashes when right clicking in the fight (file) pane. No context menu pops up, but the file explorer crashes instead.

This happens 100% of the times one does a right click. Right click in the left pane works OK.

What can be done about that? I already did sfc /scannow, and the RestoreHealth thing.

I cannot remember how to right click on folders in Windows Explorer to

This is likely the way you were thinking of initially: 1) Make sure that the file in question is displayed in the pane on the right side of File Explorer. 2) While holding down the SHIFT key, right-click on the file. 3) Select "Copy as path". NOTE: Just for reference, this behavior changes for the better in Windows 11. In Windows 11 you can right-click the filename (no need to hold Shift) and the option is right there.
