Unsolved File Explorer Shell Extension crash on Junction
-
Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Hello @wilsonp
Could you please try with the latest .18 version and see if it reproduces?
We’ve attempted but could not reproduce the issue.
Does it happen in any other instance other than the Start Menu? -
@mili I installed PowerArchiver 2022 version 21.00.18 (08/2022) 64-bit in my Windows 10 (121H2 Build 19044.2486) and the same crash of File Explorer occurs.
Perhaps the easiest way to see this is to open C:\Users\Public\Public Documents and right-click the My Music, My Pictures or My Videos Junction Points. Note that these are Hidden+System files, so you must enable showing these in the File Explorer View|Options on the View tab under Advanced settings (set Show hidden files, folders and drives and uncheck Hide protected operating system files).

@Mili This is also the same for Windows 22H2 x64. Here is the German error message from Windows event log:
