Explorer Context Menu Disappears


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've noticed with my computer, recently, that the Context Menu of File Explorer will disappear within 1-2 seconds, making it unusable.

How do I track down the cause of this (a recent patch, corrupted registry?) and fix it?

Have you already tested to see if it is related to the mouse?

It has been so long since I've come across this issue. I definately remember that software could be a cause.

I got the problem knocked down, once I had the time to look at it.  After verifying that the recent patches didn't do it, I found out that Mediafire Desktop added a faulty setting.  I removed it and the menu works correctly now.

For those that need a solution to this:

1. Download ShellExView .

2. Run it and then sort by date ("File Created Time" or "CLSID Modified Time").  The last settings will be the most recently added.  Disable starting from newest and work your way up the list until the problem gets removed.
