Overriding Opus's blocked extensions list (Opus Pro only)

You may wish to do that with particularly problematic extensions (or even ones which just get in the way, slowing things down or cluttering up your menus with items you don't ever use).

Doing that will block them in more places within Opus and also block them from causing problems with other software on your computer. You can use tools like ShellExView and AutoRuns to block extensions system-wide.

(In a lot of cases, Windows loads them itself when we do things like ask for the icon for a file.) The list also only affects Opus and not other programs, although bad shell extensions can cause problems outside of Opus as well. Opus's internal list of blocked extensions is only used in some places, since it is not always within our control which extensions are loaded. The list contains the exceptions where we couldn't find a way to do that. Generally, whatever the cause of the problem, we try to make things work. If we find an extension which does that in the name of frivolous functionality, we may block it if it's doing something useful then we'll probably leave it alone. For example, some context menu extensions cause long delays between you clicking and menus opening. Of course, problems may also be the result of bugs in Opus and an extension being on this list does not necessarily mean the problem is in the extension itself it just means the extension and Opus do not get on, we couldn't find anything wrong on our side, and we couldn't find a better workaround than blocking the extension. Problems may also be the result of extensions taking shortcuts or making invalid assumptions about the way they will be hosted which are not part of the API contract and which Opus does slightly differently (although we try to remove those differences when we become aware of them, to maximize compatibility). Problems may be the result of bugs in the extensions, and in those cases the same problems are often (but not always) seen in Windows Explorer and other programs.

For example, a program's context menu items may be blocked while its extra columns and icon overlays remain.Įxtensions not listed above may also be blocked automatically by Opus, only on your system (as part of your configuration), if Opus detects those extensions causing instability. If an extension is on this list it only means that some of a program's functionality is disabled within Opus, not that all of it is. You can also override the list and make Opus load the extensions again, if you wish. context menu items) may not appear within Opus. We publish the list here so if you use one of the products involved you can know why some of its functionality (e.g.

(If there's only a one-off problem caused by a particular version of an extension, which is then fixed in an update, we'd be unlikely to add it to the list, except perhaps temporarily if needed to address a major issue affecting lots of people.)

If you have them installed and run into problems then it may be worth blocking them to see if it helps:Įxtensions are added to the default block list if a pattern of problem reports is attributed to them over a long period of time and we are unable to find a better fix or workaround. The extensions below were blocked in the past, but are not currently blocked by default. This shouldn't remove anything other than the extra menu item, as Notepad++ has a second shell extension which is not blocked. To fix an issue with duplicate context menu items on Windows 11, NotepadPlusPlus_* will also blocked by default from 12.32. The problem was fixed quickly in a Notepad++ update, but a lot of people still had the bad version installed, even years later. Notepad++: Old ~2014 versions of its shell extension are blocked, but newer versions are fine and not blocked. We have not been able to reproduce this ourselves, but several users reported issues after support for Packaged COM extensions was added (before which this extension was skipped anyway). (Added to this list prior to release.) Can trigger long delays for when right-clicking files in OneDrive folders. No need to unblock.įile Renamer Turbo: Cannot be unblocked as we had to block it at a very low level to avoid problems.
