    Right-Click Properties on an item does nothing?


    Hey all, I just ran into this issue today out of nowhere. When I right click on an item (picture, video, etc.), and I choose Properties, nothing happens. It just sits there.

    I have been putting my computer to sleep the past few days, and only this morning did this issue rear its ugly head. Can anyone help with this?

    I haven’t downloaded any Windows Updates recently (that I’m aware of).

    Thank you!

    Start Menu item - Right-Click>Properties>Shortcut key


    In Window 7 and earlier versions, one could right-click an item in the start menu, select properties and access the shortcut tab. Therein lay the Short key field, which I used a lot for creating custom key combinations, eg CTL+ALT+N for Notepad++ or CTL+ALT+P for Paint.NET.

    In Windows 10, the start menu seems to treat all items as Apps and right-click brings up a minimal menu, which doesn't include properties.

    Ideas/suggestions please for creating customer key-combo shortcuts to programs or getting back the functionality of Windows 7 start menu Right-Click>Properties>Shortcut key.

    Right-Click Properties on an item does nothing?

    File Explorer ThisPC "The properties for this item are not available"

    Windows 10 machine.

    In File Explorer, when I right-click "ThisPC" and select "Properties", I'm now getting ther error message "The properties for this item are not available".

    I am aware of no recent changes that would cause this.

    I have done everything suggested in the following articles, and I still have this problem:

    The properties for this item are not available

    FIX: The Properties for This Item Are Not Available - Appuals.com

    (This one didn't work, because the key I searched for described in the article does not exist.)

    Any other suggestions?
