Context Menu Problem

Too slow

from Stardock Forums

   Hi, I have a problem with right clicking on explorer, it simply takes too long on certain files to open context menu. I deleted all other third party programs that appears on context menu but I don't want to delete start8 so I need to know if there is a way to delete it from context menu. Btw I'm %99 sure the problem is with the start8 because it's fairly quick  on files like music or video files since they don't have a start 8 option on context menu.

Assuming this is in general explorer windows, you can remove the Start8 context menu by removing the Start8Shell32.dll and Start8Shell64.dll files.  This can be done by going to the Start8 folder in program files, opening an admin command prompt in that folder (from the ribbon) and running regsvr32 Start8Shell32.dll /u and then regsvr32 Start8Shell64.dll /u

Then I would sign out and see what happens.

I would be surprised if they were causing a delay.

Thanks, finally I deleted all third party programs from context menu and it's super quick now before it was taking like 8-10 sec. to open. I also used "sfc /scannow" command so that might've helped as well but I don't know I'm not that good at technical stuff.
