    right click on files slow or not working

    windows 10 performed an update. Post update, if I right click on a file, it either does not work or can take up to 30 seconds for the options menu to appear, which has the effect of locking up the computer for that period of time. Nothing else was changed
    or added to the computer, just the update to windows. I have searched all resources and not found a fix.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
