Windows 10 problem

Hello, Problem #1 When I right click on "File Explorer" on the task-bar it takes a long time for the context menu to pop up. Problem #2 When i go into Start - Settings - Update & Security, it stall for awhile to open. There's a little video I have made that might help. Does anyone have the same problem?

Thank you!

Open the PowerShell (just type “powershell” into the Start menu Search, then right-click it and “Run as administrator”) and enter the following command:

Code:

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

That will re-register and reinstall all Windows apps, hopefully getting the Settings app (and others) back to full working order.

I also did the Shexview and still have the problem. Thank for the help!

Please tell us when the problem(s) started to happen .... update or installing a new program or other. The more information you can give, the better we will understand and can lead you in the right direction.

Since I have build this computer in March 2019 I have noticed this problem when right clicking on file explorer the context menu
would take along time to pop up, then I noticed when going into setting update & security it would also hang and no matter how many times you click on it, nothing reacted until it opened to check for updates.I thought maybe this was a bug and when Microsoft did there updates every month hoping they would fix it. I guess it could be a any program I have installed. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows 10 and start from there.

Thanks

Have you tried sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to see if they have any success?
Might be worth a try.

I have tried all that you've suggested and no luck!
