    Windows 10 Update KB5055518 causes Start Menu Tasks and Context Menu to disappear - How to...


    After 4 hours of troubleshooting, I found the root cause of all my context menus disappearing. It was the Apr 8 update KB5055518.This ONLY affects the start menu, it does NOT affect task bar. So at the time, task bar was my workaround.Image provided - Every single one of my start menu items only shows this many options. The tasks and recents are all gone. Now After Uninstalling KB5055518, the context menu is back. It is fixed, however of course my Windows Update is yelling at me saying I'm not up to date. I saw at least one other person mention something like this in a separate post. My questi

    Windows 10 Start menu issue

    Ive always had issues with the start menu. Pin to start sometimes doesn't work. Now I cant move the icons. And the right click menu sticks. If I do manage to move one it disappears on to reappear later.
    Love 10 other than that. Whats the deal? I would like to organize my icons. Ive tried tablet mode too

    Another thing it does when I first restart its bright. Then if I try to move something it dims

    Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown Windows 10 Update KB5055518 causes Start Menu Tasks and Context Menu to disappear - How to... :(
