Windows 10: Windows 11 Explorer crashes/resets when using contextual menus

I just installed Win11 about a week ago and Windows Explorer crashes/resets when I try to use contextual menus right click. It doesn't happen all of the time, but enough to make it a detriment to actually working with the system.Any ideas on how to stop this?

Contextual menu

Bonjour,

Back to my problem.

Thank you Akheel Ahmed for your answer.

According to the result of sfc /scannow everything is OK in the Windows system.

The problem is that for a few shortcut icons on the desktop (Skype,...) the contextual menu is displayed correctly, but for all others:

• nothing is displayed,
• the system seem to be frozen, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning wheel for waiting, mouse buttons are inefficient for a few seconds,
• then the display gets black for less than 1 second,
• and finally everything comes back to the normal state (without contextual menu !).

If I display the desktop folder with Windows Explorer, the problem is the same: impossible to get the contextual menu from the involved shortcuts.

Does this give you an idea to solve my problem ?

Pierre
