    When I right click on the exe file, explorer crashes. It is treated only if you transfer this exe file to the desktop and click on it there. After that, the error disappears for a while. What to do?error log in windows journal- System - Provider [ Name] Application Error - EventID 1000 [ Qualifiers] 0 Version 0 Level 2 Task 100 Opcode 0 Keywords 0x80000000000000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2023-02-21T21:37:11.8680349Z EventRecordID 23376 Correlation - Execution [ ProcessID] 19888 [ ThreadID] 0 Channel Application Computer

  2. Right-clicking EXE files closes (crashes?) File Explorer.

    This just started, and I don't know why:

    From File Explorer, right-clicking ANY file correctly opens the context menu, EXCEPT EXE FILES. Right-click one of those, and the File Explorer window instantly closes. Same thing, if I right-click an EXE file on my desktop. Right-clicking ANY other file
    type ... no problem.

    RELATED: In searching for an answer, one possible solution instructed me to open an Admin COMMAND PROMPT. Can't do it. Can't open a regular Command Prompt, either. No error messages ... just nothing happens.

    This computer is in such a horrible mess.......... :'(

    Please can anyone suggest a fix.

    File Explorer crashes after Right Click in Desktop


    Download: ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows
    NOTE: download version 1.97 or later, else Restart Explorer won't work in step 4


    1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
    2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu. Also put check marks as shown

    3. Click on the screen, Hold down CTRL Key+A to select all then click on the red button on top left corner to disable all.
    4. Click on the Options again and select Restart Explorer
    5. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one and repeat step 4 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.
