Windows 10 context menus show up blank

Something weird is going on with my context menus in my Windows 10 installation. They are showing up blank.

In the first day after installing it has happened 2 or 3 times. But today, it's happening almost all the time.

The first time this happened was right after an update from Windows 8.1, so I don't see any reason to think this is caused by third-party software.

This is how it looks like for a folder or a file:

Context menu in all other programs works fine, for example in SublimeText3, Skype, etc.

Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

This kind of thing can happen when there's a compatibility issue between the OS and a third-party plugin that creates context menu items. It isn't necessarily the third-party developer's fault - sometimes the operating system corrupts the installation of a plugin that normally works fine.

If you happen to know which programs have created context menu items, you can try reinstalling those programs to see if it will help. This StackOverflow Question also has some registry keys that would list things that have been added to the context menu.

Ultimately, it could also be that the operating system is corrupted itself. In that case, you don't have much choice but reinstalling it.

Some system files may be corrupt due to third party software, as you say. You can run a system file check scan.

For that open a Console as an administrator and run this:

sfc /scannow

After the scan you should receive a message telling you that some files have been repaired and the system needs to be restarted.
