  1. Removal of registry NvCpIDesktopContext worked for me.

  2. works perfect to me,, thank you

  3. Had the exact same problem. Follow the steps listed above. What is interesting, is I had this Dell laptop for almost a year no issues. Had a problem and had to restore the OS from backup and right after the restore, this issue came up. But after removing registry entry as noted above, the context menu came right up! Thank you!

  4. Worked great Windows 10 V 1803. I just did the following change:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT => Directory => Background => shellex =>ContextMenuHandlers => NvCpIDesktopContext

    That worked for me.

    Thank you

  7. Go to your browser and product support and drivers and re download video graphics card and install. During installation, being that you still have the former graphics card installation in your computer, it might ask you if to uninstall or repair? Just uninstall and re install the newly downloaded one and it will be solved instantly.

  8. Yes Phillips, you will have to select Enable selected item to do that.
