    Blank space in Windows 10 context menu


    Hi,
    I have blank space in the context menus and would like to get rid of it but I don't know how to proceed. Can you please help me? Thank you.

    Cheers

    You could try using Autoruns (free from ms) and look at the context menu sections. That tool highlights items where the related program has been removed- it might be that the empty space corresponds to something incompletely removed, so that could give you a way to identify such entries.

    You can experiment by disabling any particular entry (checkbox) and noting any change in the context menu.

    (Don't disable MS items)

    Thank you. I ran autoruns but I cannot see "Context Menu" in the various tabs. I chose the Explorer tab but nothing is highlighted there and nothing concerning context menus is highlighted in the "Everything" tab.

    I experimented as you suggested and it seems the problem is solved now. Thanks a lot for your advice
