Trying to eliminate some duplicates on my system - a new(ish) Dell desktop running Win11 and Everything 1.4.1
Searching for KFX (or *.kfx) files I get 246 hits in various folders. I want to sort the display by folder so I can highlight all the files in one folder and then sort by name to find any dupes. Immediately I try to sort the window closes. I have to restart the app.
Second try I get as far as highlighting the files and sorting by name - then I scroll to the top... and the window closes...
Tried with and without Regex - same story.
I remember something similar happening with another file type over a year ago but can't remember the fix, and anyway I don't know whether it's the same issue.
Anyone got any constructive suggestions please? TIA.

Thank you - I ran the /icon_shell_extensions=0 fix and that sorted the problem!
