    About to delete "DirectShow" from my registry..A few questions?




    ____________________________________________________

    Is it necessary for my OS?

    I was gonna proceed with deleting it because I had a hunch it was the reason my Explorer.exe keeps crashing every time I move the taskbar.

    I thought I should check here first just in case I make matters worse
    Should I go ahead in delete it?
    I don't have any K-lites codecs but maybe this is a leftover from the uninstall?

    Do not delete this, messing up with the registry can lead to problematic situations
    Leave the registry as it is. Unused registry items won't affect your computer in any way
    Run a scan of Malwarebytes

    I've done that time and time again but it never solves anything for me
    Judging from your reply I guess it's essential to my OS?

    Here are some of the things I have done to try to rid the this annoying issue..

    Ran Sfc / scannow

    Clean boot

    virus and malware scans

    updated drivers..specifically my graphics card

    I install almost every update

    deleted left over files

    ran safe mode but to no avail because it persist even in safe mode unfortunately.

    ran Ccleaner

    and done a Checkdisk.

    Anything I'm forgetting :)?

    Thanks I'll leave it alone for sure now

    However with that being said I'm back two steps and completely lost
    I might try

    Uninstalling some programs and after try a repair install...again
