    Explorer.exe crash when right click->New


    Hi,
    I have a windows 10 computer which crashes when I right click and open the "new" submenu.
    I already tried to :
    - disable all non microsoft shell extension with ShellExView
    - try in safe mode (same issue)
    - run sfc /scannow and dism repair

    I found out that if I edit "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\ShellNew \Classes" to remove DOCX or rename DOCX to docx it fixes the issue. BUT, this change is overwriten each time I open this "new" right click menu, so it only works one time.
    A solution could be to make this change permanent but I don't know how...

    Here is a crash dump analysis from osronline :

    Hi, you might like to try this freeware program to remove a possibly corrupt entry:

    Explorer.exe crash when right click->New-1.jpg

    Naturally you could do the same in the registry- it's a convenient tool.
    You can compare what it does with the registry to the action you quote.

    I removed docx with this software but it did not change the ShellNew \Classes value and the crash still happens

    Are you sure it's the docx extension and not another?

    Also you could check this doesn't happen if you create a new user for test purposes. If it does, there's an underlying problem with Windows.

    And do you have a relevant system restore point?

    Well, the problem disappear if I manualy remove docx extension from the shellnew registry... until it is added again by windows.
    I do not have a relevant restore point.
    I will test a new user later.

    As i said in your other post
    Run the tool

    The first timestamp error sppc. dll, relates to windows activation

    Please find below the report, I see no errors
    I also tried a new user it works fine, but there is no .DOCX in registry. So the issue remains : how to remove it from my current account. Or what else can I do ? The new menu editor dalchina suggested does not change the ShellNew registry, but changes value elsewhere.
    Thanks.

    That's progress- indicates the problem is definitely related to your user configuration, so it's effectively data, not Windows that needs fixing.

    What put the docx entry there? You might try
    a. changing the association with docx
    (In Settings or Control panel)
    b. uninstalling the program that created the association

    I am not sure : does changing file association affects the "new" menu ?

    Windows 'out of the box' knows nothing about docx....
