XYplorer Beta Club

For me, Windows File Explorer is practically instantaneous. I get full context menu with no delay. In XYplorer, the first time the menu takes at least 5 seconds. Sometimes it never opens, more likely after I've used XYplorer for a while with normal use. A few times, I get an XYplorer fatal error mes...

The problem has been around for a long time. I opened this post in Nov. 2022, so it's been around at least 1 1/2 years. I believe I was on version 23.7 at that time. I just recently spent hours narrowing down the problem after dealing with it for so long. There's not yet a promise when it will be fi...

Turning off the 64-bit context menu does help a lot. However I still need the 64-bit menu, so now I have to right click on the folder/file, then choose "Show 64-bit context menu". That takes me back to the same problem. It's really slow the first time (5 sec) to show the 64-bit menu, but s...

Typically I don't get any message. I right click, the cursor is hourglass for a second, and menu never pops up. If I try over and over rapidly, I can sometimes get an error. See my reply on March 3 for an error I got once. I had another error one time, but couldn't reproduce to get a screen shot.

This definitely seems to be a bug. I can't find a way to officially report it. Is there a hidden link to report a bug or does someone monitor issues in the forum and report them to the developers?

Thanks for the tips. The problem is definitely with Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | [x] Show the 64-bit context menu The slowness and not getting any context menu to pop-up seems to be caused by that setting. At one point, I even got the error: XY64ctxmenu.exe - Fatal error The first arg...

I wanted to resurrect this as the problem continues. I've also had problems where the right-click menu won't appear at all. When I right click on a folder, the hourglass spins for a second and then stops. No context menu pops up. I tried over and over and at one point, I got a pop up message that a ...

I think I figured it out. The slowness is caused by Bitdefender. If I disable antivirus or add an exception for XYplorer, the problem goes away. I've opened a ticket with Bitdefender. Neither workaround is acceptable, but I'll have to see what they say.

It's been happening for months. Not sure when it started. I've tried several new versions of XYplorer and none of them fixed it.

Windows File Explorer is instant. No delay at all. XYplorer is 5 seconds, but when doing it the first time after opening a new instance. Subsequent times are quick but not as instant is Windows Explorer. It doesn't matter what folder I right-click, it's slow. What I notice is when I right click on a...

Thanks for the reply. I'm using 64 bit context menu. I'm typically interested in the Properties command but also Open With (Winzip, Notepad, etc.). Below are my 64 bit settings: - Show the real System32 directory (checked) - Show the 64-bit context menu (checked) - Show the 64-bit IFilters for conte...

I'm having a problem with right-clicking being slow. I notice it especially when right-clicking on my C: drive in the folder tree. I click on the C: drive and the pop up menu takes 5 seconds to display. I notice it especially bad the first time I right click after launching XYplorer. Subsequent clic...

If you're willing to try a fix, I'm willing to test it.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, build 19044.1586. When I looked at the .ico association, there were user actions defined. I think they were for open and print. When I removed them, the problem was fixed. That still left .ico associated to the photo viewer, but XYplorer worked again. I ended wiping the entire...

I figured out the problem. The .ico file type got associated to the photo viewer. so it was showing the photo viewer icon. I don't understand why XYplorer would show the photo viewer icon instead of the actual icon regardless of the program associated to the .ico extension in Windows. Large icons st...
