Windows 10: Right clicking on desktop makes everything blink

I've had a problem recently with my laptop and its becoming a problem with one of my classes. Sometimes when I right click on the desktop, the screen turns black for a second and all the icons and taskbar disappear for a second after. I also got a loading wheel while this happens. I dont get the menu. I can right click anywhere else just fine just not the desktop. Any help would be appreciated! I'm on Windows 10, I've installed all the updates from the settings, iand ive tried running a scan in the command prompt for corrupted files sfc /scannow command

Right-click on shortcuts and .exe's causes screen to blink + no menu


Hi - Bizzarro problem with Windows 10. Help appreciated!

In any account, including Administrator ones AND the Administrator account:

• If I right-click a desktop shortcut, the screen blinks black. No sign of the context menu.
• If I locate an .exe in its folder and right-click that, the screen blinks black. The folder closes. No context menu.

Related, perhaps:

• In a Standard account, if I try to turn down the UAC settings (so my son can use Steam without me logging him in each time), the Windows accepts my administrator password, then ignores my changes.

Notes

• I have recorded the blink and played it back frame by frame. No message or anything appears. The screen merely goes black.
• Windows 10 otherwise seems to work fine.
• I have done virus scans etc.

All this makes it very hard to set up Standard accounts that are any use. Any help would be appreciated.

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?
