I'll suppose you tested where this is an instance that renaming the Everything.exe to somethingelse.exe does not alleviate the situation?

I'll suppose this is an issue with (caused by) MBAM itself? (And are they aware of it?)


(Heh, & I missing the first "fix", whitelist.)

I have not tested.

Yes, this is an issue with the Malwarebytes context menu shell extension causing a 20 second delay in the system call IContextMenu3::QueryContextMenu.

(And are they aware of it?)

I do not know.
I haven't reported the issue to Malwarebytes.
