    Various issues in explorer, thumbails/file type icons dissapearing, open with context menu...


    None of these problems exist in a new profile I created.


    When first login the thumbnails are present, after a while they go away.


    When try to use file open with, it freezes windows explorer and i have to restart it.


    There is a com host process running all the time using a lot of CPU. i looking into the details of the process and it is thumbcache.dll it runs non stop, and keeps my cpu fan going.


    In outlook 2016 if i try to attach a file, it crashes outlook.


    Things i have tried:


    Updated everything


    DSIM and DISM or whatever


    sfc scannow


    delete thumbnail and icon cache


    Windows defender finds nothing


    downloaded and ran malware bytes, nothing found


    downloaded and ran CCCleaner, and found some junk registry keys related to uninstalled programs, got rid of all of those now it runs clean.


    downloaded shellxview and disabled everything not by microsoft. restarted.


    read in here where someone had an issue with Adobe that was causing the problem.... updated my Adobe Acrobat Pro to the latest update.


    EVERYTHING else on the PC works fine, onedrive, opening and closing office apps, creating new and updating old office apps, etc.

    :)

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown Various issues in explorer, thumbails/file type icons dissapearing, open with context menu... :(

    Issue with opening properties in context menu

    Ignoring the fact that my "issue" was bloody self-explanatory.

    1. I am not able to open ANY properties for ANY particular file or folder. Give me a step by step fix, please.

    2. No, I did NOT get any error messages. Yet, my properties cannot be opened in context menu. Give me a step by step fix, please.

    3. No, I did NOT make any recent changes before the issue started.
    Give me a step by step fix, please.

    My properties cannot be opened in context menu. Give me a step by step fix, please.
     
    Just give me the location please., Sep 25, 2020
