Double-clicking any text file in Windows 11 does not respond.
Guys, have you ever run into this issue? On Windows 11 64-bit, right-clicking on txt, html, js, css, or Word files—anything containing text—just won't open. It just spins endlessly. Double-clicking does the same thing—spins forever—but it doesn't get stuck or show as unresponsive.

Yes, this issue with right-click and double-click hanging or spinning endlessly on text and document files in Windows 11 can occur due to various underlying causes, such as shell extension conflicts, file association problems, or corrupted system components.
