  1. Task bar right click context menu not working properly in win10 update v2004


    I recently installed the April 2020 version 2004 update to win10 and now I have taskbar issues. Right clicking the folder icon used to allow me to quickly open my documents or downloads folder, now it does nothing regardless of which option I choose. Also, my quick launch Firefox icon is equally defunct. I used to be able to right click and open a new private window or just a new regular window, now it does nothing! Single clicking the quick launch icons still opens their respective window, but all the right click options are now broken!


    On the flip side, everything on the right hand side of the task bar programs respond normally to the right click as usual. One more thing to note, yesterday I got to the point where I could no longer go full screen on a youtube video, the task bar was constantly there all the time. I tried telling it to auto hide in settings but it made no difference for any window I tried to open. After re-booting it seemed to give me back auto hide as well as full screen video without auto-hide.


    You guys having the same issue?

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
     
  3. Right-click context menu "Run as Administrator" not working

    I have the same problem but mine is limited to right clicking the start menu. I can right click everything else and it works correctly, but if I right click the start menu, it doesn't open the context menu and the cursor shifts just a little diagonally to
    the top right. I've tried the suggestions above and the new account works fine and the SFC scan came up with nothing wrong.

    Edit- also Winkey + X doesn't bring open the context menu either

    Missing Right Click Menu Test in Task Bar


    After a while text can start to not appear in right click menus from the task bar. It seems similar to the other graphic bugs like missing icons from the start menu.
