    Can't Open Properties Window on Any Program, Folder, or Icon (Right Click > Properties)


    I have encountered this problem some months ago and have just now started to try to fix it. I have browsed through many forms and many websites but have had no luck. I basically have the same issue as the user DanikSo had.

    Problem: Cant open any properties window on any program, folder, or icon on my system EXCEPT My Computer.

    Fixes I have Tried:
    sfc /scannow in cmd (admin) - "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."


    Windows Modules Installer in Services is Running and set to Manual (cant set to Automatic because I cant open the properties menu for it)


    net start trustedinstaller - nothing


    Tried to reset pc build - nothing


    tried to reinstall windows or update windows(error 0xca00a000, 0x80073701, 0x80073701) - doesnt work


    Anything else I can try? Im getting pretty desperate.

    :)
