Windows 10: Right-clicking a directory in Quick Access causes Windows Explorer to crash

If I open Windows Explorer, and right-click a directory in the Quick Access sidebar, I get a spinning blue circle, a "Not Responding" message, and then it closes. I can navigate to the directories just fine by clicking on them, but right-clicking causes this to happen. Any idea why?

It's a WIN 7 glitch, Registry problem. Could be caused by a lot of apps, especially AV/AS.

Quick Access Crashes Explorer

Hi Bill,

Quick Access is a new feature in Windows 10 File Explorer navigation pane which helps users quickly navigate to locations which are frequently used. However, if you're having issues with Quick Access, you can try to disable and enable it. To disable Quick
Access, follow these steps:

• Type File Explorer Option in the search box.
• Click on File Explorer Options.
• Under General tab, choose This PC in the Open File Explorer to: drop down menu.
  
• Uncheck Show recently used files in Quick access and
  Show frequently use folders in Quick access.
• Click Apply an OK.
• Restart the computer and re-enable Quick access.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.

 

Right Click Items in Quick Access Crashes Explorer

When right clicking on items in quick access, explorer crashes.

- I have cleared file explorer history.

- I have removed unchecked "show frequently used folders in quick access"

- When I start explorer via CMD (right click > Run as Administrator) then I can right click on quick access without crashing.

- I've also enabled the default Administrator profile (net user administrator /active:yes) and I am able to right click w/out crashing.

My user profile indicates I am an administrator, I do not have issues with administrator rights anywhere else except here which is why I cannot fix this.

Does anyone have any suggestions on why my profile, which is marked as administrator, does not have sufficient rights to right click on items in the quick access menu?
