Hello,

I just noticed that when I right-click on the desktop, the cursor turns into the loading cursor and keeps spinning endlessly; this does not happen when I right-click on shortcuts, only on the empty space.

I am on Windows 8.1

Can someone help me?

Thank you

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 43.0.2357.81

Hi,

Do you have an Nvidia video card?

If so, remove NvCplDesktopContext from the registry.

Open Regedit and go to:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\NvCplDesktopContext]

Backup the key first by right-clicking -> Export.

Delete NvCplDesktopContext.

Let me know if that fixed the issue.
