AVG Shell Extension causing issues with Windows 10 Explorer.exe
I been looking up this issue for quite a while and came across this forum when trying to figure out this issue. Which I will note what I have tried to do so far.
I have tried both recommended commands in the CMD sfc /scannow and the other one. I have reinstalled Windows 10 using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool and have successfully reinstalled it with no problems or loss of data. When I thought the issue may have finally fixed it has not. Then I came across a video that recommend using CCleaner and I noticed someone the other day mention AVG.
Well I used CCleaner and disabled both AVG Shell Extensions (screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/d2oImQ0.png )
While the issue was still happening mind you I downloaded CCleaner without the ability to access my folders since clicking File Explorer was not working on my start menu and I could not right click any folders. After disabling both AVG Shell Extensions it started to work again right after I did this.
So that leaves me with the conclusion that AVG Shell Extension causing the confliction issue with Windows 10, but I personally used AVG all my life and Malwarebytes and know no others, but would like to keep using AVG, but I was wondering if there was a work around this at all to fix my issue while still continuing to use AVG?
Note: I do apologize if it seems odd my first post is here I literally been searching up this issue and been trying to fix it for days. I just registered here. :P
