File Explorer

Copper Contributor

When I open File Explorer and try to right-click on the folder and open in a new window on the context menu, Explorer hangs, freezes and closes everything and restarts.

it does work well if I try to open more than one explorer window in any other method, Win+E, right click explorer icon in the taskbar and open new one ect, but only context menue gives this issue. tried reinstalling windows with new disk image from windows Azure portal.azure.com (university provided account) but issue occurs.
tried SFC and no issues were found.

16GB ram

Can you try to do a clean boot and see if the problem still occurs?

it might be a driver or software incompatibility

I did a clean install of latest version of windows and issue is no more. thanks for your effort.
Glad to know that, you're welcome!
