Extremely slow context menu

[AustinBrister]

The 32 bit and the 64 bit context menus are extremely slow in Xyplorer. But the context menu is instant in Windows Explorer.

I tried the following with no luck at all:

• enabled "Hide shell extensions from shell context menu"
• disabled "Custom items in shell context menu"
• enabled "Show the 64-bit context menu"

All to no avail. Also, the more files I have selected, the longer it takes to load.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

First: Disable "Show the 64-bit context menu"

1. XY version number?
2. Does it happen on a fresh instance, too?
Type:
::fresh; {ENTER}
in the address bar (ofc {ENTER} means: press the enter / return key)
3. If it happens in a fresh instance as well:

Get the 64-bit version, extract it, start it

Menu - Options
[x] Show 32-bit Shell Extensions
[x] Hide all Microsoft Extensions

DISABLE ALL VISIBLE ONES
Restart XY, try the context menu again

Version: 17.00

Happens in a fresh instance as well.

Tried disabling all. Issue is still prevalent.

Never seen that behavior before...

What happens when you disable all Microsoft ones as well?

[AustinBrister]

It won't let me disable them. It says shell extensions are required for the computer to properly boot.

Ok.

Apart from trying a few older versions from https://www.xyplorer.com/freezer/
... No idea what's happening on your computer :/
