If right click on your desktop never loads the context menu and a blue spinning wheel keeps loading, you’ve landed at the right place to fix it!
- Open Cortana search bar (or) open start and type cmd → Click Run as administrator
- A black screen opens (it’s the command prompt)
3. Copy and paste the below lines entirely in command prompt and finally press Enter.
reg delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
ping localhost -n 5 >nul
start explorer.exe
echo success
4. Now go to desktop and right click. It will work like a charm! :)
