event ID 1000, explorer.exe needs to close frequently

[Guest]

Explorer keeps crashing on me with error message 1000. I cannot find the
reason it is doing this, nor have I been able to find anything relevant on
the Windows website. Can anybody help me with this? The report is as
follows:

Error message "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" when you right-click a folder.
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode can prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.

''In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers
(mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system
services), just the minimum device drivers required to start Windows.''

Because of that some malware does not load in Safe Mode and is easier to get
rid of.
