Explorer continues to crash

tried several workarounds and fixes but in windows 11 trying to open a ZIP file from the explorer view or even trying to open the context menu from right click on the desktop caused windows explorer to crash. To the point, it is not usable.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, need to know which Stardock software you're having issue with?

Try this : Uninstall Start11, reboot(important), reinstall Start11 (get the latest version from your account), reboot again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

I did as mentioned and it still crashes. I removed all the Stardock Software and did a fresh install. Trying to Right click on the desktop to bring up the context windows caused windows explorer to crash. Also trying to open any ZIP files causes Windows Explorer to Crash.

What do you mean by "fresh install"? Fresh install Start11?

Would like to suggest cleanboot [Link] to see if something is conflicting with Start11. Also do you have Stardock's Windowblinds or Curtains installed?

Thanks

Please know some of those applications are not compatible on Windows 11. Those might be the reasons you're having crashing issue. Please review this thread to know which software are compatible or not with Windows 11 : https://forums.stardock.com/505717/stardock-app-compatibility
