Right clicking on most shortcuts hangs menu

[garneti54]

Describe the bug

I am using 4.4.195. If I right click on most shortcuts, the Open-Shell menu hangs. Restarting Explorer is the workaround. I am on Windows 11 24H2. Thanks.

Note the attached image of my start menu. The items on the right (Documents, Downloads, etc.) work with right click. The items on the left hang.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

Right click on a shortcut to cause a hang.

Open-Shell version

4.4.195

Windows version

Windows 11 24H2

+1 for this issue. Microsoft probably borked something up with an update, if I had to guess.

Update1: I cannot even single left-click on the start button without Explorer crashing. I have not had the chance yet to try a reinstall of OpenShell. My desktop shortcuts work, which is the only way I'm able to get programs running short of opening a command prompt and executing them that way.

Update2: Uninstalling and Reinstalling OpenShell seems to have fixed my issue. According to my PC, it took two updates, KB5050577, and KB5050094 this morning. So its possible that one or both caused my issue.

Update3: Never mind my last update. After about 5 minutes it was back to being non-responsive. So there's something new that is wrong. :-/
