I just built a new computer and installed windows 11. Reluctantly coming freshly from windows 7, I have tried and done many things and tweaks to suit my needs more, so I am aware one of those things might be the issue, but I have no idea which, if any. My issue applies to any browser I have tried.
It started randomly and I cannot remember what I did last or exactly when it started happening, a few hours ago is the best I can say.
Whenever I right-click while in the save-as window, that window closes and often the window last used minimizes. The browser itself does not crash; however, Firefox is unique in that it does crash but also the only one to notify me and allow me to give out a report, which I did. Also to note; this issue does not happen in every folder on my computer, and even that seems random, not limited to a certain drive either, or permissions and such. The browsers I have tested are Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox.
I also have tried multiple windows recovery points, none of which mattered (and I know for a fact the issue didn't occur at the time of one point I tried, yet it did even after that recovery). Also scanned my computer for threats and nothing was found.
After some more research; I can sometimes right-click on an item or folder even if clicking on empty space would crash, but even this is very random for which folder it occurs. I have tried to see what the differences between these folders are, and I cannot find anything special. I have changed permissions to full control etc, nothing helps.
Any help is very appreciated.
