Strange right click issue on Windows 10

Hello everyone,

I hope somebody will be able to help me with this because this is really making my work on my laptop very very difficult.

So I have this strange issue where every time I try to right click on a file or on a blank space inside a folder to create a new folder for example, it freezes (in case of a folder goes to "Not responding") and then blinks and nothing happens.

The right click only works properly when I try to right click on my desktop or on a folder that is on my desktop, in every other case I am experiencing this issue.

I have tried to follow instructions in these videos - Slow Right click on Windows 10 Fix - YouTube
- How to fix windows 8.1 and 10 right click loading problem - YouTube

But neither fixed the issue.

Maybe it is because my right click is not just slow, it never loads and goes to "Not responding" mode immediately.

I have also tried to create a new folder inside a folder by clicking on the icon in the top left but got the same results.

Also in case of the first video, I have noticed I do not have the folder "New" under Context MenuHandlers in the regedit if that means anything.

I´d be glad for any help I can get,

thanks and have a great day!

Try this to see if it helps. It's for Windows 8 but will be the same for 10:
Solved Right Click Menu Lag on my pc

Hey there!

I forgot to mention that sometimes after I´d turn my pc off and then on again, the issue would not appear immediately but would start occuring after some time.

After I tried the solutions I described above I restarted my pc and the issue appeared to be gone until today.

I have already tried the Shellex view thing but I had to enable Nvidia Shell extension in order to be able to access my graphics settings.
