Windows 10: Why is the Desktop/File Explorer CONTEXT MENU right click showing up on the LEFT SIDE of...

Just found out today that when I right clicked on my Desktop for no reason old habit the context menu is showing up on the left side of my cursor. This also happens on File Explorer.[VIDEO]: Desktop & File Explorer Context MenuI'm not sure if this is caused by me updating my Windows, or my GeForce Driver. I did both a few days ago.Weirdly enough, this appears to only happen on Desktop and File Explorer. When I try to open context menu on other applications, e.g. inside Chrome or Microsoft Word, the context menu is showing on the right side of the cursor as per usual.[VIDEO]: Context Menu

Desktop context menu not work when right click mouse over Drive on File Explorer

After I opened File Explorer and highlighted drive C, I right clicked my mouse and expected the context menu would be displayed. However, it waited for a while and the whole desktop restarted.

If I clicked 'This PC' on the left panel of File Explorer, and on the right hand panel, right click the mouse over any of the devices like C:, I could open the context menu.

Why it failed on the left panel of File Explorer?

 

Right Click on Desktop Context Menu take a long time to show up

Thanks popeye
Step 5 in that post will not work in Windows 10 so here's an update.
Please download: ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu Also put a check marks on the items as shown below.
   
   
   
   
   
3. On the list are the Shell Extensions with pink background, installed by the third party programs
4. Hold down SHIFT Key, click on first item & then on last item to select ALL then click on the red button on top left corner to disable all.
5. CTRL+ALT+DELETE->Task Manager->File->Run New Task and type explorer->OK
6. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one and repeat step 5 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.
