Right clicking a rar file closes XYplorer

Post by tiger08 »

Right clicking a .rar file used to show context menu items.
But suddenly for the last 5 days , it closes XYplorer.
I tried F9, F3 >> TICKING hide shell extensions from shell context menu.
By doing this XYplorer does not closes, but RAR items disappears from context menu.

What changed 5 days ago?

Context menu handlers don't tend to become unstable without any reason...

Try it with a fresh instance and if it doesn't work with it as well, which exact RAR software is used?

Try the NirSoft Tool ShellExView and disable all non Microsoft extension.
Then enable them one by one to find the one which causes the crash.
