nvshext.dll - Explorer crashes when you right-click on a folder.

Running Windows 10 Pro, OS build 19044.2486. I have NVIDIA Control Panel version 8.1.963.0 installed.

When I right-clicked a folder in the Navigation Panel (nowhere else) in Windows File Explorer, explorer.exe crashed and restarted. Disabling the 'Add Desktop Context Menu' in the NVIDIA Control Panel did not resolve the problem.

However, disabling the NVIDIA CPL Context Menu Extension with ShellExView appears to have solved the issue.

Many thanks!
