    Explorer sync status icons keep refreshing, it breaks right click menu


    I have OneDrive and GoogleDrive (different folders) and both of these are using system of sync status icon overlays on files in explorer. From what I found it is Windows 10 system function. Problem is, that as soon as I change file or generally any sync is going on in background, Explorer keeps refreshing whole folder containing overlay icons. And if you try to make any right-click operation on file/folder, menu is closed with each refresh. And it goes every second or so. Any idea, how to make this work without disabling whole icon overlay system through registry?

    For those not familiar - talking about this green marker in bottom left corner, it is also shown in left pane of file explorer on all folders/files in OneDrive/GoogleDrive folders.

    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?

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.
