  2. Right clicking and "sent to" folders on desktop only show "Bluetooth device" option!?

    •Press Windows + r – this brings up the Run dialog
    •In the open box, enter shell:sendto and press OK
    •This opens an explorer window where you will see a list of the items that
    should appear on your Send To destinations list
    •If there is a 0 bytes entry second in the list called Bluetooth, delete it.

    This is a bad file that stops the list from displaying
    •That’s it! You should have all your Send To destinations back

    Right clicking and "sent to" folders on desktop only show "Bluetooth device" option!?

    Hello

    I have windows 10. When I right click on a folder on the desktop and try to send it through the "Send To" link, the only option available is "Bluetooth Device". How do I correct this issue?

    Thank you very much for any help.

    Can be many reasons for slow response on a system, how does rest of the system work and other slow responses ?

    Can be caused by shell extensions, as when you right click these extensions are put in there by third party software. Try to disable them, do you have CCleaner can be sued for this or there are other free software like ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

    I would assume it's either CPU/RAM/HDD/SSD overload (90-100% usage) or a virus. Could also be a fragmented HDD having trouble finding the folder, or an un-optimized SSD not running as it could.

    Yes, jds63 - same system.I use both Classic Shell and Ccleaner, so I will take it from there. OS-SSD is in good health and no virus. Thanks!

    *Ditto I'd look into this also but use nirsoft rather than CCleaner disable the shell extensions as CCleaner doesn't always show them all.

    Disable all the non-Microsoft ones log out and in and see if it is fixed. If it is you can then gradually turn them back on until you find the one causing the problem.

    For me it was Intel igfxDTCM causing the right click issue.

    O.k. Bjorn, because you told us this is only issue of slow down, then use the Nirsoft software. If problem goes away then you can enable each one till find the one causing the issue. If need more help on how to use this software post back. I am not familiar with using Classic shell to know if this can cause any issue related to this. Your Welcome.
