In order to disable any item simply click the red button after selecting it. Now once again if the issue is resolved it means that it was because of any one of the shell extension, which you may check enabling them one by one.
This may be done with the help of a free plug-in from Nirsoft known as ShellExView.įirst execute the program sorting them by the name of manufacturer, and then items other than from Microsoft should be stopped. If problem persists even after the clean boot process then all non Microsoft shell extensions should be halted. Though it is bit time consuming but worth, as in the end it would leave your computer working properly. Now you need to reboot the system again and again enabling half the applications.
A positive result indicates that either it is a service or may be a startup item. It can be done by performing the clean boot as stated below:įirstly, all third party services and items under startup should be disabled using the MSCONFIG and look if the problem goes away.
So one should strive hard to isolate the program, startup or any a service which is generating the issue. In search for the prime reason you’ll come across the fact that it was caused by some application other than OS, as windows rarely corrupts itself.
