Right click menu very slow

[Falenone]

Hello
I have a problem with my W7 Home Premium x64

Lately my right click menu on whatever file or folder is very slow. Takes much time to open ~10sec
When I click on empty space or already open picture, it's instant.
I tried to uninstall software what had right click menu items (Antivirus, Notepad++, Winrar and so on) but no result. I also disabled barely every context menu item with ShellExView. Also no result.
Da heck I have to do to get rid of this nasty crappy problem?

Welcome
Lets try a few things and hope for the best
Run a full anti virus scan
Download and run a full scan with malwarebytes.
If they are negative, try a clean boot.
Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup - Windows 7 Forums
If they do not work try an SFC scan

Run 3 times if it finds uncorrected problems.

Problems with right-clicking are often caused by third-party programs that shove themselves into the context menu. The easiest way to manage this is with the free ShellExView program:

Great tip, Rich. I've not heard of ShellExView before.

I do wonder, though. Wouldn't running Piriform Registry Cleaner resolve any broken or dangling references in any menus?

Dont want to say too much, except dont count on reg cleaners.
In addition, thank you so much for your generous reps.
