    Windows 10 tweaking, somehow I broke context menus for taskbar icons


    Hi guys. Any idea which registry setting might cause this problem? I'm currently optimizing Windows 10 2009 with VMware OSOT and somehow I broke taskbar icon/element context menus by adjusting some string I'm not aware of having this effect.

    Any pointer would be helpful, thanks!

    It should look like this:


    But now it looks like this:


    Edit: For additional info, my HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced looks like this:

    J,

    You will get a much better response if you show the diagrams in your post instead of just posting links to them.

    If you ever want to post diagrams of any kind then you can refer to any of this set of guidance articles. Just select the appropriate tool for any particular job.

    I see what you see after some updates.
    Then using the link concerned starts to build up its list again.
    I think it is just Version updates that reset it for me but that optimising tool you mentioned might have the same effect for all I know.

    I could not find any tutorials that explained this behaviour [there's a link at the top of the page] but I did not search for other threads that mention it because I could not think of a decent search term.

    I found one tutorial [but not about your problem] in which some of the individual posts seem to me to relate to your situation
