  1. PC cannot use Start menu, taskbar, settings or windows key.


    PC cannot open the start menu or settings Can't run it via task manager or PowerShell either. Other than opening apps, the taskbar can't be used. The audio control, calender, wifi, ect. are unresponse, so is start menu and search. Windows key also does not work, so I can't use shortcuts that involve it.I tried to open the settings by trying personalise the desktop background which didnt work, I got an error popup saying:https://imgbb.com/">https://i.ibb.co/Nj8x5pM/image.png" alt="image" border="0">ms-settingsPC cannot use Start menu, taskbar, settings or windows key. :personalization-backgroundThis file does not have an app associated with it f

    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?
