There are others like the nvidia when I right click on desktop or imgburn when I right click on an ISO, but only the three above when I right click on a text file when the freeze happens (but it's not limited to text files). I use shellexview 圆4 to see which context menus are running, and the only extensions used that are not OS related and appear on every right click on a file are winrar, eraser and avast. Remnants are one area that can also cause conflict. Have (or did) you another AV installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
If this is a live system and not a test system the recommendation is not to install as version 5 beta isn't feature complete. I used ShellExplorerView ( ) to view all shell extensions, I don't know which tool you used. I only found it because of another post relating the same problem and having SnagIt installed. I never even considered that but the latest version certainly has a problem.
I had a similar problem when right clicking files and I hunted the internet and my system for months until I bumped into the most unlikely shell extension, that of SnagIt image capture. I know you say you worked your way through then until only avast was left.
The problem is conflicts can happen with low level drivers/hooks/shell extensions, remove one conflicting extension and no conflict, but not a definitive confirmation as to the real culprit. I was going to install the V5 beta and see if it causes the same problem but on reading the limitations and bugs it doesn't work anyway, so there is little point.Ĭertainly not a known problem, at least one I know about and I have been on the forums for over five years. I don't know if this is a known problem (or even if anyone is having it) but it may be something that needs fixed whether in this version or V5. Uninstalled again and it went away again, so it's definitely down to the Avast shell extension. I then reinstalled avast and the problem returned. As I can't disable it, I uninstalled Avast and the problem disappeared, I then enabled the shell extension again one by one without any problem. I disabled my shell extensions one at a time until only the Avast Scan extension was left. It only happens when I first switch on, then all is fine and restarting explorer, until the next time the PC starts. When Windows first starts up, and I right click on a file, explorer freezes and I have to restart explorer. I have had a really annoying problem on my PC, which I've narrowed down to being caused by the Explorer Scan shell extension.
