Windows 10: MS Help menu not working

During the past few days having a problem with apps closing down by themselves, shortly after opening. Newly bought refurb Dell PC with Win10 installed. Now a few month later only problems.

On Friday went online with MS Support staff to try and get to root of problem. Got halfway there, but after overnight System Restore (that had had to be restarted after failed first attempt), did not solve anything.

Thus back to MS Support yesterday and got another long session on what can be done, after going through assistance from Friday that did not resolve concern. After using 2nd PC to create media USB, etc. guess what - spent hours of work to create something that still cannot assist, because the original problem - apps closing down shortly after trying to open them, is still there and does not allow access to start the so-called solution created via the USB stick...

Today went back to MS Support and the problems are getting more - go Start / Settings / Update & Security / Troubleshoot / Get Help / Get More Support - when trying to select any of the first three options (Call Me / Arrange a Call / Chat online), the new window thinks a 1 or 2, then reverts back to previous set of options. And just now screen briefly flashed "there was an error" before the reverting back to previous set of options. Tried this 10 times, no different outcome yet.

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?
