Right Click > Properties won't open Windows 10
Hi All,
I am having a strange issue with Windows 10, where whenever you right click a folder or application, all the options in the context menu works (run as administrator/open etc) apart from properties, when you click it nothing happens.
The only one that seems to work is going to the properties of This PC.
I have tried to run sfc /scannow, this through an error saying Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service. I ran the following command in cmd as administrator 'sc config trustedinstaller start=auto' then restarted the trusted installer service, which starts perfectly, but i still get the same error.
I ran the following dism command 'dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth'
This also doesn't work in safe mode, no errors seam to appear in the logs, so im not entirely sure now where to go, i cannot even open printer properties. I don't particularly want to clean install windows but if that's what i have to do, i will.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

I had the same issue and all was fine after the 1607 update, some other also had this issue as per forum, may be was a know issue for many. The explorer gets affected.

if you cannot restore your computer to earlier state, this means something is not right with operating system.
if above mentioned didn't help, as a last solution before installing new Windows you can do a Windows 10 Repair Install with an In-place Upgrade.
