Right click on video files takes two to three seconds about shell

[moudey]

• Delete the log file.
• Select the video file, then press Alt + Right Click.
• Go to the log file and then find the items that take the longest to create.

Copy the items to be removed and put them in the "shell.nss" file like this

remove(clsid='{9F156763-7844-4DC4-B2B1-901F640F5155}')
remove(clsid='{9F156763-7844-4DC4-B2B1-901F640F5156}')
...

Save changes, restart Explorer to reload settings.

This delay is caused by some items of the system.

A new feature has been added to provide a report on the time it takes to generate system entries to find out why the context menu is lagging by pressing Alt + right-click. You can try it with the debug version.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I have downloaded the debug version, but alt+right clicking doesn't seem to work. Also, the UWP context menu isn't replaced by the nilesoft one. Am I doing something wrong, or is it the expected nature of it? Thank you.

Change priority value to 1 to enable shell

settings
{
    priority = 1
}

Save changes, restart Explorer to reload settings.

You find the report in the 'shell.log' file.

The context menu will not appear while the ALT key is pressed.

Hi,
I've successfully collected the log and this is what it shows:

As you can see, one of the entry on the list is 50ms+, but I still can't find out the cause.

Looking forward for further help.

Thank you.

Okay, I think I now understand what all those number means. it's OneDrive causing it. But don't know why it's only on video files.

Any suggestions what to do next?

Thank you.

[AryaTwirl]

Thank you very much for the help.

And yes, I can confirm it's OneDrive. Inserting the CLSID to the Remove list also removes the OneDrive functions. Still not sure why it only slows down on video files.

Hi,

Apologise for reopening the issue.

But after having inserted the CSLID to the remove list, once in a while, it still appears on the log and the right click still slows down (although it has improved dramatically).

Any suggestions for that?

Also, I notice that the debug version has a different shell.nss structure than the usual one. Could I apply the remove cslid entry to the usual version also?

Thank you.

• When using the report, all entries appear without removing any entry.
• The clsid property cannot be entered with the previous version.

Try removing the Edit with Clipchamp item, which may have an effect on delaying the context menu for video files.

remove(clsid='
	{9F156763-7844-4DC4-B2B1-901F640F5155}|   //Open in Terminal	(UWP)
	{8AB635F8-9A67-4698-AB99-784AD929F3B4}| //Edit with Clipchamp	(UWP)
' where=this.isuwp)

Hi,
so there's a Windows update earlier and the slow down is back. I've investigated further, found yet another culprit, put it into the list, yet it's still slow. Like it doesn't work at all.

{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF}| (UWP)
{1861E28B-A1F0-4EF4-A1FE-4C8CA88E2174}| (UWP)

Any suggestion for that?

Thank you.

// must be placed before (UWP) or delete it

remove(clsid='{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF}|{1861E28B-A1F0-4EF4-A1FE-4C8CA88E2174}' where=this.isuwp)

Or put each one separately

remove(clsid='{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF}' where=this.isuwp)
remove(clsid='{1861E28B-A1F0-4EF4-A1FE-4C8CA88E2174}' where=this.isuwp)
