Windows 10: Avalanche of contextual popups

Hello all,
I am inundated with contextual pops ups to the point pc practically useless. I hv tried everything found surfing incl resets (factory & keeping files) to eliminate them but to no avail. Malwarebytes shows pc to be malware/virus free. Any suggestions most welcome. Thks.

Win 10 Pro

Contextual menu

Bonjour,

Back to my problem.

Thank you Akheel Ahmed for your answer.

According to the result of sfc /scannow everything is OK in the Windows system.

The problem is that for a few shortcut icons on the desktop (Skype,...) the contextual menu is displayed correctly, but for all others:

• nothing is displayed,
• the system seem to be frozen, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning wheel for waiting, mouse buttons are inefficient for a few seconds,
• then the display gets black for less than 1 second,
• and finally everything comes back to the normal state (without contextual menu !).

If I display the desktop folder with Windows Explorer, the problem is the same: impossible to get the contextual menu from the involved shortcuts.

Does this give you an idea to solve my problem ?

Pierre

 

Contextual click issues

Whenever I right click in a folder to copy/paste or do anything, the contextual menu doesn't show up.

Here's a sample of the problem attached. I've tried disabling shell extensions related to contextual stuff, didn't help.

Any suggestions? It's frustrating as all get out. It makes doing image editing for photography quite difficult...
