Windows 10: Windows 11 context menu disappears when I try to make a choice

Recently I got a surface pro 3 and installed windows 11 on it and only regret it after 6 hours....Every time I try to use the context menu anywhere in Windows 11, it disappears when I click on it. I`ve tried looking up the solution but to no avail.

Windowws 11 right click context menu disappears quickly

I noticed this same issue after I uninstalled Corsair iCUE v4 and installed Corsair iCUE v5. Immediately after rebooting after the install:

• Icon spacing on the desktop was increased (this was fixed with editing the registry).
  
• Desktop background changed to black.
  
• Desktop context menu disappears quickly now on its own.
  

I noticed that black color background comes back every time I sign out of Windows account and then sign back in.

The context menu disappearing is a huge issue and extreme inconvenience.

Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

Well.. have a look at this:




I took a risk. I've set a System Restore point then installed Gold Wave.
It was not present in that Open With list.

I used the Default Programs Editor:




Did you click Save...? You should have seen:




Note: if you are running as a standard user you may need to run it as admin, if it doesn't offer a UAC prompt.




- opened via Open With as above.
