The issue matches the title, but today I can't right-click in a folder without it first flashing white and then returning to the desktop. I'm unsure what's causing this. I've tried the link you provided: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...5b60477a93, but it hasn't helped. Sadly.

Click your mouse over the documents folder, then left-click once to highlight it. Press the corresponding menu key on the bottom-right of your keyboard next to Ctrl. A "right click" option will appear.

In Windows, the right-click options in File Explorer (including the desktop) can include additional entries, acting like extensions for the menu. If something is malfunctioning, it may cause File Explorer to crash. Likely, this is the reason. It’s advisable to remove the problematic software. Tools such as ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) let you control which items appear, but they can be somewhat complicated. Proceed with caution since changes may affect your overall experience. This approach could help identify the exact cause of the problem. It’s probably not a Microsoft product unless other users report similar issues. Another possibility is an anti-virus that blocks a necessary DLL file from a program, leading to crashes in File Explorer.

I did it for you. Shellexview. I kept a small instruction in mind and turned off the purple options. Now I can use the right-click again in my files. Thanks!
