Windows 10: Right click Issue on windows 11 desktop!

i'm on a windows 11 pc. if i'm on my desktop and right click an application, it indicates something is loading. so i wait. but, after a couple minutes, it's still loading, and after a couple minutes, all of the icons turn into this white piece of paper with the top right corner folded. The loading never stops, and the icons stay like that. I go to task manager and restart windows explorer. that stops the loading and fixes the icons, but the problem itself isn't fixed. i can't click anything on the desktop while it's loading, and I don't know how to fix it. maybe it does load, but i never left

:)

 

Optical Drive Issue

Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:




I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.

 

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
