Explorer not refreshing/right click menu reset

Today i noticed something that is bugging the hell out of me. First, my desktop or explorer was freezing everytime i tried to create a new folder, restarting fixes this for awhile.

Now when i restart, after lets say a half hour, windows stops refreshing itsself. I have to manually do it, if i delete a folder, move or create one i have to refresh to see it is there or gone.

Another thing i noticed, i tried to extract some files using winrar and the right click settings are gone, i used to be able to right click and extract, or right click and scan a folder with my anti virus and all that is missing.

I just formatted about a week ago...just got all of my games install i do not want to format again, it was very time consuming installing everything, i am running windows 7 64bit ultimate.

I searched google, no luck, i tried settings the folder max cache to 12000 and i also tried disabling windows search, neither have fixed the problem. No idea how to get everything back on the right click menu.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Welcome to SF,

I suspect it's an issue with Context Menu. Download ShellExView

The rule is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.

Hope this helps,
Captain

ok thank you, i messed with that earlier today and they were disabled thats why nothing was showing on the context menu....however the refresh problem is still there
