File Explorer crashes after Right Click in Desktop

Place the ShellExView on your Desktop (copy/paste) and then right-click ShellExView and choose "Run as Administrator".

You have to use your admin account when doing this. (Don't open File Explorer when doing this!)

Download: ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows
NOTE: download version 1.97 or later, else Restart Explorer won't work in step 4

1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu. Also put check marks as shown
   Attachment 87580
3. Click on the screen, Hold down CTRL Key+A to select all then click on the red button on top left corner to disable all.
4. Click on the Options again and select Restart Explorer
5. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one and repeat step 4 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.

Thank you so much, this helped me figure out a program that was causing major issues for me.

Thanks again.

Format Factory was the culprit for me (as it was for others), I uninstalled it and all is good now.

Funnily enough, for me the problem came from ConverttoPDF by Foxit. Just wanted to post my findings that are different from what was mentioned.
