Hi,
For example, if I right-click on Excel and try to start a file from a pinned file, it will not start, but if I click on Word and do the same the file will open. Or if I right-click on Chrome or Edge and try to start Incognito or private window it will not work.
I have done some research on this.
I think this issue happened after I installed a new graphic card but I'm not sure. It also happened after a "forced" BIG Windows update a few weeks back (I just happened to look at my computer and it was updating and I did not ask or approve the update...)
My Restore points were not activated so I could not go back to a previous version
I am using three adapters for 5 monitors:
Intel(R) HD Graphics - on the motherboard (recently installed driver)
NVIDIA GeForce GT710 (recently installed driver)
NVIDIA GeForce GT740 (older card driver not changed)
I tried the following from other threads** to no avail:
**You can System Restore from Repair Mode if it will not work in Windows, following one of these paths: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanc...
**There are also fixes that are working for right click dysfunction reported recently here:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-file-exp...
**Another fix working for this is to find a right click shell extension that has malfunctioned due to latest Update:
https://www.winhelponline.com/xp/slowrightclick...
This last one (with ShellEXView) seemed to be the most viable, but all it did was give me right-click on Word.
I also tried reinstalling Windows (keep apps and files) using the "Reinstall Windows using installation media" and keep everything (Don't want to start over and re-install years of apps and data if possible!) but that did not change anything...
Also, right-click on the start menu does not work on anything either!
Can someone make some sense out of this?
