windows explorer crash when right clicking on ANY int or ext HD
Hello,
Novice hear, pls bear with me.
A few days ago a partitioned (internal drive) became full
I then moved this data onto a external drive.
Maybe this is all irrelevant information but during or after I moved the data for some reason any time I right click to expand, or view properites on any intenal or external hdd label windows explorer crashes and needs to restart.
I note there are similar problems to mine on the forum but none of the fixes help.
Bizzarely and perhaps completely unconnected to this one external hard drive lost all its data - even though the disk was showing full no files or folders could be seen.
I've run all kinds of malware and antivirus scans with no issues.
At a loss here and dont want to format this machine if at all avoidable.
first I've looked at the reliablity file and the shell32 file showed as fault module name, but I understand from other forums that this is likely caused by another third party file. Anyhow I've copied the latest crash dump files - one of many and would value any suggestions to solve this.
Thanks
