Shell extensions and registry tools remain accurate. All major system and DISM checks were completed without any issues.
When no shell extension or codec is available, try one corrupted file at a time. Sometimes it's just a single file that won't open. Use the command prompt or another third-party explorer to locate it. Copy parts into a new folder and test each one. When you see it crash, remove the previous copy and gradually reduce the size until you pinpoint the problematic file.
File move tasks appear to fail 6 out of 10 times in the "2018 Singles" directory, while copying, pasting, and relocating succeed 4 out of 10 times.
a shell extension won't create issues during scanning. It's similar to the features in winrar or 7zip where you see options like "extract file" in the context menu. This isn't harmful; it might just misinterpret something. For viewing such files, a good tool is available at https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html. Just be cautious—this program will display only what's included with Windows. You could disable it instead of removing it. I'm not certain if it's a shell extension, but this tool should help resolve the problem.
I just set up the newest K-lite release (I wasn’t sure it was installed on this machine) and received these three shell extensions. This is just an illustration—I’m not claiming klite is the issue. However, Firefox crashed repeatedly for a minute while streaming YouTube. Usually, codecs come with shell extensions.
