Hi ShriS1,

I'm Paul, a fellow customer like you & an Independent Advisor. Kindly try these steps below & see if fixes your issue.
1. Reboot your PC to Safe Mode. When login, press the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys together >click File menu > click "Run new task" > type cmd & tick the checkbox "Create this task with administrative privileges" > click OK > copy/paste below command one line at a time. Once, done reboot your PC to Normal Mode.
SFC /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

2. When login to Normal Mode, kindly re-register the Windows apps by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys together >click File menu > click "Run new task" > type Powershell & tick the checkbox "Create this task with administrative privileges" > click OK > copy/paste below command.
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach{Add-AppxPackage-DisableDevelopmentModeRegister "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

3. Once done, open File Explorer & navigate to "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local" were "YOUR_USER" is your computer username, and delete the "TileDataLayer" folder. Reboot your PC & check the issue.
(Note: If you can't see the "TileDataLayer" folder, you may skip this step.)

4. Then, restart the File Explorer by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys together > scroll down & select "Windows Explorer" > click "Restart" button.

I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. Thank you!

Hi ShriS1,

Got it, thanks. Now, if that's the case, let's try to clean your PC first.
• Let's run a full virus scan via Windows Security or any other security apps you have installed.

• Then, download the tool below to complete a full malware scan & removal. Once done, reboot your PC & check if the issue persists.

If it persists, let's try to isolate which layer of the operating system the issue resides. Kindly complete the steps below & let me know the results.
1. Temporarily create a local admin user profile, as per the link below. Login as that user and check if the issue persists.

Hi ShriS1,

Got it, thanks. Now, kindly send me that Event Log's .evtx file.
Search/open eventvwr.msc > Windows Logs > right-click on Application > select "Save All Events As..." > save the log to your Desktop > upload the same file to OneDrive & send the link to us. Here's how to use OneDrive below.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.)

For the interim, kindly try these troubleshooting steps below.
1. Search/open services.msc > scroll down & double-click on "Windows Installer" > click Start > click OK. Check the issue.
2. If that won't work, search/open gpedit.msc > go to "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Application Compatibility" > double-click "Turn Off Windows Installer RDS Compatibility" > select "Enabled" > click OK. Reboot your PC & check.
3. If that won't work or you can't find the "Application Compatibility", now there are also 2 applications that caused conflict with File Explorer - EgisTec & Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you have either of the two, then try these options below in the attempt to resolve the issue. Otherwise, ignore. Thanks.
• If you have EgisTec app installed, then try to uninstall it. Reboot your PC & check.
• If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, then try disabling the context menu by opening Command Prompt (as Administrator) & run the commands below. Reboot your PC & check.
cd /d C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat Elements
regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenuShim64.dll
regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenu64.dll
regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenu.dll
regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenu.dll

I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. Thank you!

Hi ShriS1,

Got it, thanks. Now, it looks like you have Windows 10 Home edition there & Group Policy Editor is not part of your edition's feature. If that's the case, then kindly try installing it (as per the link below) & see if we're able to get it working. Otherwise, skip this step.
