Windows 10: Windows explorer doesn't respond if I click any file or do right click

Hi,


Please help me with this my windows explorer doesnt respond if I left click or right click any file. I can't open anything as administrator. I tried doing system scan but it showed-



"You must be an administrator running a console session in order to

use the sfc utility."


When i try to open something the mouse pointer shows loading sign and windows explorer doesn't respond . Because of this I can't open any file in explorer even just a click makes the explorer stop responding.

:)

 

right click crashes explorer

I'm thinking you have a program installed on your machine that integrates itself into Windows shell that is messed up. An example would be a program like imageburn or Catalyst control center that puts itself into the "right-click list". If you've installed any programs recently, try uninstalling them.

 

Explorer hangs for a second when right clicking empty space

Are you talking windows explorer or internet explorer?

First thought, some sort of timeout problem. Explorer is trying to connect to something that isn't there or not responding.

Edit: I just saw this... so windows explorer:

I've seen similar behavior in Excel when a network printer (that was the default) wasn't available, Excel would hang for a second on just about every click. Solution was to change the default printer to PDF or something local. I'm only saying that because something analogous could be happening in your case.
