It is weird that even after I’ve disabled PowerArchiver’s “Use Explorer Shell Extensions” from the program’s configuration, the PASHLEXT.DLL file which is responsible for the context menu is actually still loaded, enabled and causing the right click to be very slow! ShellExView is definitely a keeper. I repeated the steps above until I found that the culprit was “PowerArchiver Shell Extensions”. What I did was right click on the ShellExView and select “Disable Selected Items” to disable one of the Non Microsoft shell menu extension and then try to right click on a folder/file.
Moreover by default the Non Microsoft context menu are marked for easier identification. Then there is another column called “Microsoft” which makes it even easier for you to determine which context-menu doesn’t belong to Microsoft. It was easy to check because there is a column called “Type” in ShellExView which will group all the Context Menu together. I downloaded it, ran it and ShellExView instantly showed me more than 200 items on the list. Then I remembered NirSoft has a Shell Extension Manager for Windows called ShellExView, which perhaps I can use that to view any hidden context menu. Now the right click is totally clean without any extra context menu but it is still slow.
So I disabled the context menu from the software itself (most software has the options to disable right click context menu) for all 3 software. The only extra context menu I see when I right click on a file or folder is PowerArchiver, RightLoad, NotePad++ and SmartFTP. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system.
For example, if you install WinZip on your computer, you’ll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file.
Then I figured perhaps it was some shell extensions that is causing the problem.

I didn’t think it was virus because I could not find any suspicious autostart entries. I checked Windows Task Manager and there isn’t any process that shows any high CPU usage during that 10 seconds. Weirdly after using the laptop for a few weeks, a problem started to appear that is the computer sort of hangs for a while about 10 seconds whenever I right click on a file or folder.
