Windows 10: Mouse right click menu

I cannot activate the 'New' submenu to create New folders in Desktop,Explorer and existing folders. When I Mouse right click the menu opens up (View,Sort by,Refresh etc) when I move the cursor to 'New'(to open up the submenu to create a folder) the pointer changes to the hourglass and in Desktop goes black and reverts back to the Desktop Screen, In Explorer (and existing folders)same thing and exits explorer into the desktop.This happens with the cursor 'hovering'over 'New',all other commands in the submenu open ok with cursor 'hovering'and are working ok just the 'New' is broken
Explore/Desktop sshot attached to note right click menus
Thanks in advance

:)

 

mouse right click menu not fully displaying intermitently.

Hi,

The issue could be due to faulty mouse or some system file issue.

We would like to ask some information to better isolate the problem:

• Have you tried using a different mouse?
• Have you done any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Have you tried updating your device driver?

Meanwhile, please perform hardware troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• 
  Type Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting tab.
  
• 
  Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
  
• 
  Select the Hardware and Device options from the list.
  

Keep us posted.

I updated driver again and it fixed the problem.

Its pretty absurd though because the last driver update was two months ago and everything was working fine, which i found absurd, because never have I ever had so many continous issues with a operating system like i have had with windows 10, which makes
me think how does a average person with no knowledge get by with their windows 10 computer.

Apple is starting to look pretty good as a reliable alternative.

How to Restore Missing Option in Desktop and Explorer Context Menu in Windows? - AskVG

 

Thanks dalchina, the registry default value is as noted in the fix, also the other 2 script fixes do not solve the problem, I may add the Ctr.Shift.N option does not do anything.

 

Please try creating a new user and checking the problem.
Why? this draws the distinction between user account corruption and Windows corruption (and possibly the influence of a 3rd party program depending on startups etc).

 

Dachina, Thanks that solved the problem, but how can I reconcile with the main account/admin(Me) that has all my directories, files photos etc,etc?
As the problem is as you said in your last reply, is there a fix/scan that will identify the conflict....I have ran sfc /scannow previously to try and resolve the problem but no
Thanks,Len

 

Ok, good, some progress... now, I'm going to guess the more likely case is an installed program causing your symptom.

Clearly you can compare differences between the two users, if you know what to look for.

I'd suggest starting with shell extensions. For this you may need to use more than one program, as it seems no one program lists all extensions.


One of the easiest to use first is
Shellexview
Download, install for all users, and run it on your new user account.
Now create screenshots of what it shows you.
Save these so they are accessible from your original account.

Log in to the original account, and run Shellexview.
It's convenient to create a system restore point or registry backup before starting.
Using the screenshots, you can compare what's active between the two accounts.
Hide all MS items - do not disable them!

Disable some that are only active in this account, and retry 'New folder'. (No need to log off etc).
Repeat until you've either disabled all items, or found one or more that affects New Folder.

If you do, work back to identify the culprit.

If no luck, try
Shellmenuview, and Glary Utilities has a context menu manager. Autoruns is another, but much more comprehensive.

 

When I try to create a New Folder on right click within a Folder within Explorer the mouse cursor changes to the'sand timer' and Explorer crashes and kicks back into the Desktop.I have tried about every fix I can find from sfc /scannow(no errors)to checking the context handlers registry key.. I created another user account that fixed the problem (Advice given by Darchma on this forum on an earlier post I submitted), not really wanting to go the whole hog and transfer files/apps etc is there a solution to fix it within my current profile? Event viewer log citing the issue below. Thanks in advance....usually good at fixing stuff but I'm beat on this one!
