Does anyone have this problem? It start to drive me insane. It can be fix by simply restarting SU but I ends up restarting SU 100x per day!! It’s unbearable. I ran the repair install but it didn’t fix it. My next step will be to reinstall everything but I need to find a gap in my schedule because of all the plugins installation. This is a real P in the B. Hopefully someone can help me with a solution without reinstalling everything.
I had this problem a few years back but it was only on very large and it went away. Now, the problem seems to be on every files. Small or large.
I saw an old post about this problem but it was with SU2021 and it’s not clear if it been fixed or not. My problem happen with SU studio 24.0.594 on Win11 24H2
It seems to happens mainly on very large file but it also occasionally happen on smaller file. At the moment, it happens on every single model I’m working on. No matter the size. It’s like the problem evolved. Also, once in while, the context menu is back working for a while, then go off again. It’s very random! The files are store locally on my desktop HD.
Alright! I’m the only one then! Your silence actually means something. The problem is obviously at my end. Time for a full reinstall. I might just wait for the 2025 which should be announced any day now.
Do you using 5D+ Plus and use Classification overlay feature? I got a report from a user had the same issue and he said the reason is from my extension. But till now I can’t not procedure this issue on my computer also haven’t receive another report yet. So, I still not ensure the issue from 5D+ Plus or not. I just asking to collect the info.
I don’t know what I’m talking about or if it’s relevant or if it’s been implied here or mentioned in other posts– but I did a Google search for:
windows context menu stops working after a while in programs
And the AI summary was:
If your Windows context menu (right-click > menu) suddenly stops working after a while within programs, it’s usually caused by a conflicting third-party application that has added custom context menu options
I don’t know… how many context menu items are there? Maybe it’s a specific plugin?
Thanks, Paul, for the advice. You made me think and helped my troubleshooting process.
I still haven’t done a full reinstall because I simply don’t have time at the moment, but yesterday, I did a bit of cleanup in my plugins—uninstalling and disabling some. Today, I’ve been running the software for a few hours, and the problem hasn’t occurred. Did I fix it?!
Among the plugins I uninstalled were Landshape and Placify from Holygon. I recently noticed that Placify’s context menu was quite cluttered with commands. Also, since Placify is still in beta, maybe that was causing the issue.
Anyway, I’m super relieved right now, and I hope the problem is gone. I think troubleshooting progressively like this is actually a better approach than reinstalling everything and never knowing what caused the issue.
Thanks for all your help! I’ll keep posting if the problem comes back.
