I installed an additional HDD in my PC since I was running out of storage space. System seemed to function well at first, but now when I try to right-click-interact (so right-click, then select e.g. "Properties") with any of the sidebar items (e.g. the pinned "Desktop" symbol), the explorer.exe crashes. This happens on all folder links in the sidebar, however, not on drives and not at all if I use the main explorer window.
The error log spits out this message (since this machine is a horrible accident between English and German language options, some items had to be freely translated. Those were marked like this):
This may not be related, but Windows Update has also seized to function, simply giving an "Error encountered" message but, as far as I can make out, not showing up in the error log. As is to be expected, the Troubleshooter could not fix the issue.
I scanned all three drives (C, E, F) three times using sfc /scannow from the admin cmd, with no integrity violations found. I am currently running a full scan using Bitdefender Total Security, but since nothing was downloaded in the timeframe, i doubt it will find anything. I will still update the post once it has finished (which will take a while considering 3 TB of 7200 rpm HDD).
Since this may be of interest, the system is split up between a 256 GB NVMe M.2 serving as the C:/ drive and a 1 TB HDD where larger programs are installed. Some user folders like Videos and Pictures were also 'outsourced' there due to the M.2s limited size, though those seem to have reset for some reason.
