mp4 files crashes Windows Explorer
This is not a BSOD. What happens is whenever I move my mouse over a VLC mp4 file and attempt to click on it, Explorer starts locking up, the Explorer window goes gray and the taskbar suddenly disappears (Windows Explorer crash) and then recovers and the video file will then play in VLC like it normally should. Strange since I have "Show Thumbnails" turned off.
Somebody elsewhere hinted that it might be a shell extension problem and that something in the registry is causing it, but I'm skeptical. However, this only happens with mp4 (and AAC) files and nothing else, so it's specific to that file extension.
Anybody have any ideas?
I'm running Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
Thanks...
