Hi,
I've just starting having real trouble with Windows Explorer in Windows 8. Whenever I right-click on anywhere in a local file, or right-click on a local drive, Explorer freezes. I cannot even create a new folder without Explorer crashing. As
I can't right click anywhere, I can't take ownership of the folders to confirm that this isn't a permissions issue. I'm really at a dead end with this.
I have seen that people have had a problem with this in the past when right-clicking on items in the left-hand pane in Explorer, but this problem is much more widespread, as it is affecting every local folder. I followed the advice given in previous posts.
I downloaded ShellExView and disabled each item of the Context Menu type that was non-Windows in turn to see if that solved the problem. I then tried disabling all items that were non-Windows to see if that would work. Neither worked and I still have the problem.
The technical details of the error from the Action Center are below:

The only thing I have changed today is that I have uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent as it was having a problem. Otherwise, I haven't changed anything in months, and this problem has only started today. I only discovered it when I was trying to create
a new folder to save uTorrent into!
I have also tried running fltmc.exe from the command prompt as an administrator, which prompted the following results:
