Windows 11 context menu full crashes Explorer

[jamesburt]

EP: 22621.2506.60.1
OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home
Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621

Just patched windows and updated EP afterwards.

I use the win11 context menu, anytime I right click file explore folders or file objects, explorer complete crashes out of memory, no prompts, straight to gone, and then relaunches itself.

For now I've gone ahead and disabled win11 context menu. Things seem stable.
Prior to this windows update and EP update, system has run fine without crashes.

  I'm providing this more as a FYI, not sure if I'll remember to follow this conversation at all.

Check what happens when using the console in explorer patcher. Open up the properties application for explorer patcher, go to advanced, and click on enable console.

the console poofs with the rest of the explorer/taskbar entities
tried recording the screen, but no errors displayed as they all poof

rclick any file object in file explorer then get the spinning blue donut for a few seconds then POOF to everything explorer related

Your windows build is incomplete. Please post windows version and build. You can find this by running winver.

with win 11 context disabled, when rclick file objects in explorer windows, the png and empty menu errors come up for each rclick

[pyrates999]

Please show a screen shot of the option in EP that you think is causing this.

[jamesburt]

I said what the issue is.
Not having win 11 context menu disabled, disable the win 11 context, and I get the old style context and it doesn't crash on rclick, enable win 11 context, and back to instant poof crashes of everything tied to explorer.exe
I have used this this flawlessly for longer than I can remember with the the win 11 context enabled, then I patched windows & ep yesterday and now the crashes

[pyrates999]

A screen shot is more clear and easy to understand.
