| AcShellExtension.dll - Explorer crashes everytime when trying to copy and paste |
From 20th June 2016 i started having issues when trying to copy and paste within Explorer, after spending days searching the web for info i finally posted a question on Microsoft Community and spent more days having emails back-n-forth trying to sort the issue until i was advised to try ShellExView and disable all non-Microsoft extensions. Once done i was then to enable each item one by one until i found the cuplrit. This sounded 'All too easy' but i ended up having to try this 3 times (wasn't aware that the explorer needed to restart after each item) there didn't seem a logic to how it was occuring, eventually i restarted the explorer after each item was enabled it was only then that i could locate and diagnose 'MyWinLocker - DragDropProtect Class' as being the underlying problem. What i will also add to the conclusion 'i believe' that this only occured after failed attempts of Windows 10 being installed, this to-date has failed 4 times, and you'd think now it would give up!!
