Freezing after right click in desktop Fixed

If your PC freezes when you right-click, it could be caused by software conflicts, corrupted system files, or driver issues. Here are some troubleshooting steps to fix the issue:

1. Restart Your PC

A simple restart might resolve the problem if it’s a temporary glitch.

2. Check for Corrupted Context Menu Extensions

Corrupt or unnecessary third-party extensions in the right-click context menu can cause freezing.

• Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
• Go to the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, and disable suspicious ones.
• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) → Startup tab → Disable unknown or unnecessary entries.

Use ShellExView to Identify Problematic Extensions

• Download ShellExView.
• Run it as an administrator.
• Sort by Company Name and disable non-Microsoft extensions.
• Restart your PC and check if the issue is fixed.

3. Update Display Drivers

• Press Win + X → Device Manager.
• Expand Display adapters.
• Right-click your GPU, select Update driver → Search automatically for drivers.
• Restart your PC after updating.

4. Scan for Corrupt System Files

Run these commands in Command Prompt (Admin):

sfc /scannow

Then, run:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Restart after the scan completes.

5. Check for Windows Updates

• Go to Settings → Windows Update.
• Install any available updates.

6. Disable Hardware Acceleration in Applications

If the issue occurs in browsers or specific apps:

• Open Chrome/Edge/Firefox → Settings.
• Disable Hardware Acceleration.

7. Perform a Clean Boot

• Press Win + R, type msconfig, and hit Enter.
• Under the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services.
• Click Disable all.
• Go to the Startup tab in Task Manager and disable all startup items.
• Restart your PC and check if the issue persists.

8. Reset Windows Explorer

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Find Windows Explorer, right-click, and select Restart.

If the problem persists, consider creating a new user account or performing a system restore to a point before the issue started.
