Windows 11 Explorer crashes on right mouse click on file or folder in network drive

Since upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 I was experiencing frequent crashes of Windows Explorer when performing a right mouse click on files or folders located in a network drive location.

How-I-fixed-it:

I did two thing which finally fixed it for me. 

I found them both in the Microsoft Answers Forum here:

- Download ShellExView : https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Brother DCP-560CN USB scanner does not work in Windows 11, Unknown Device

 After upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 my Brother DCP-560CN USB printer/scanner was only installed as printer. The scanner only was shown as "Unknown device".

Uninstall / re-install did not fix it.

How-I-fixed-it:

1. Downloaded driver package for DCP-6690CW (Treiber | Downloads | DCP-6690CW | Deutschland | Brother)

2. Run the self extracting zip to extract the package

3. Go to device manager, select the "Unknown device" and select "Search driver on my computer"

4. Select "Select from a list of available drivers on my computer"

5. Select "Media" (in german OS it is called "Datenträger") right below the model list

6. Choose "brimi07a.inf" from the previously extracted driver package

7. Choose "Brother DCP-535-CN"

7. Commit to install a driver not which may be be incompatible for the device
