I am playing with windows 10 (32bit) and have installed Classic Menu.

Does Classic Menu have a context menu if I right click on the Start button?
I ask because one does not appear.

Regards.

Yes, when you right-click on the start button you should see a context menu. If you hold Shift you should see another menu.
Do you not see anything?

Ok, Shift right click I get the Classic Start Menu context menu. Normal
right click nothing but a small repositioning of the mouse pointer.

The normal right-click should give you the same menu as Win+X. Do you get it when you press Win+X?
Also try Shift+right-click -> Exit. This will exit the start menu. Then right-click on the start button. Do you get the menu?

There are settings that control what left click, shift left click, right click, and shift right click do. Maybe your setting for what a right click does got changed somehow? It's worth checking, at least.

Yep already done.


MUST mention this is 32bit Windows 10. On 64bit Win7 Pro no issues at all.

Since Win+X doesn't work even without Classic Shell running, then the whole menu must be busted.
You have to find a way to repair it. See if you have a recent restore point you can use, or try running "sfc /scannow" from an admin command prompt.

Which "whole menu" must be busted??

Both the Windows menu systwm and Classic Menu work as they should. The only issue is with right click context menu for the Start button and with
Win Key +X doing nothing, irrespctive of which shell I use.

sfc /scannow was one of the first things I did. No issues reported.

I mean "the whole Win+X menu is busted".
It shows the shortcuts of this folder: C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX
See if you have any bad shortcuts there.
Other than that, I don't know what might be breaking it. Can be some registry setting that got corrupted or misconfigured.

Ok thanks for trying. As this is juat an old Laptop on which I'm playing with Win10, I'll not rersue this further.

Who knows what I may have done during my setting up of Win10 or during Telemetry, spying etc removal.

Regards.
