    Right Clicking on Drive Crashes Explorer-14257


    Not sure what is going on here. When I right click on a drive in explorer to get properties/use tools like defrag/disk checker it is crashing explorer. I have already done a "repair" install of 14257...I had 14257 installed already and essentially did a reinstall of it using an ISO image. I have done SFC/Scannow a dozen times and that isn't working either. Any idea what is going on?

    Try to separate the explorer processes and see if it still crash.

    Win+R, type in -> control folders <- hit Enter. Click on View tab > tick the Launch folder window in a separate process > Apply > OK.

    Hi, use Glary Utilities' Context Menu manager (e.g.) to disable shell extensions for a drive.
    See if that solves the crash.
    Then work backwards and identify the cause.

    To see more extensions, try Shellexview (free)
