Right-click crash only on the desktop

Good evening everyone,
Here is my problem, as stated in the title, I cannot right-click on my desktop because it crashes:
The small blue loading circle replaces the cursor and nothing happens for at least 2 minutes, except for the disappearance of my taskbar (which comes back without any issues after an alt tab).
However, I can right-click on the icons on the desktop without any problems.
This does not crash the system and the rest of the software either, I can still switch back to my windows with an alt+tab and do what I want, the cursor returns as long as it is not on the desktop.
I may not be clear and I apologize for that.
I hope you can help me resolve this little issue!
Have a good evening!

    Hello,

    Since when do you have this problem?
    Do you remember which application you installed before?

    If it crashes when you right-click on files or folders as well.
    Try this: https://www.malekal.com/explorateur-windows-explorer-exe/

    Go to Event Viewer and check if you have any errors related to session opening:
    Press Windows + R
    Type eventvwr.msc
    Go to Windows Logs => Application
    See if you have any errors related to these crashes, please provide the content here.
