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

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.

to do this, go to the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from this link:

Now, let Windows to Update drivers. make sure that Keep Personal Files and Apps is Selected and let the Windows do the rest.
If this does not work, then a full reinstall is required, after formatting the disk.
