Windows 10: Right Clicking Start Menu Items not Working

Hi all. This is my first post. Using win 10.
The Issue i'm having is that when I right click on the Windows Start Icon, I get a list of menu items:

Apps features
power options
event viewer *
system,
device manager*
network connections
disk management*
computer management*
Command Prompt*
Command Prompt (admin)*
-------------
Task Manager*
Settings,
File Explorer
Search
Run
-------------
Shutdown
Desktop."

However, when I select some of them nothing happens, I've added an asterisk to those and made them bold above.

For instance "command prompt" and "command prompt(admin)" as well as Task Manager don't work from this menu. I do have other ways of opening those and they work, but it would be nice to do it from this right click. Thanks

I've had Classic Shell Installed and tried uninstalling but the issue persists.

Thanks

:)

I just updated the Wacom tablet driver to the latest version. The problem was solved.

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



We do understand your concern and we will be happy to help you regarding this.

I request you to place the computer in Clean boot and check if it helps.



A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.



Follow the link to place your computer in Clean boot:

Disclaimer: To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the link above.



I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



Thank you.

 

Hey Sleestax,
It's probably a shell extension that's causing the problem. Get ShellExView and hide all the MS ones and disable the rest, to see if you can track it down. ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

Thanks so much. That worked! I'll try to enable them one at a time to see the offeder.

 

Open an elevated PowerShell window.Type the following and press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hope something helps you
